PADI Rescue Diver

A Scuba Rescue can happen at any time. No warning...no "look at me...I'm going to be a victim now." It's real life and that's how we teach our class.

Starting in the classroom (actually, we ALWAYS start in a Starbucks...) we'll go over the knowledge base important to prevent or attend to a rescue situation. Then, we'll hear from REAL LIFE rescuers and victims of scuba accidents. (This is the stuff not in the book...but things you need to know).

We'll move to the pool, where we'll learn how to respond to panicked divers, above and below surface incident response, as well as raising an unconcious diver to the surface and making a proper egress.

Then, we'll go to the beach to learn lifts and carries from the water to shore. Practice search and recovery patterns and techniques, including use of lift bags and marker buoys.

And then we'll dive. Just dive. Two days of diving in the serene waters of the Puget Sound. NO PROBLEMS. *remember, a victim never announces their intentions...it just happens.
