Rescue Diver
The course most divers call the one that changed them.
₹27,000per person · excludes 18% GST
Rescue Diver shifts your attention from yourself to the divers around you: recognising stress before it becomes panic, managing a tired diver, handling an unresponsive diver at the surface, and running a search. Demanding, occasionally exhausting, and the point at which most divers say they became genuinely competent.
