Building upon what you've already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.

This course is a 2 to 3 day course which consists of 4-5 dives that highlight different scenarios that will develop and hone your skills for responding to emergency situations while diving and beyond. This course also requires a first aid certificate. If you do not hold a first aid certificate, you will be required to to do a first aid course in conjunction with the rescue course
