Rescue Diver

On the NAUI Scuba Diver course, students learn a few basic rescue skills to keep themselves safe and help their buddy if needed. NAUI's Scuba Rescue Diver course expands on that and trains divers in the knowledge and skills needed to manage risks and effectively handle limited in-water problems and diving emergencies. Topics covered include: assists, transports, surface rescues and rescues from depth involving both boat and shore based skin and scuba divers.

The Scuba Rescue Diver course teaches problem solving, but more importantly it teaches problem prevention. This is a great course for any diver to help keep all divers safe.
