Have you ever watched the Japanese movie: Umizaru? If you did, you would have seen how the hero rescued other divers and you could be the hero for someone else too!

Anticipate and prevent problems as well as to manage them.
Utilise effective rescue techniques and first aid skills specific to diving.
Learn to manage diver emergency situations. Your course will consist of the following modules:-
- 5 Knowledge Development Sessions
