Your instructor will teach you all the necessary knowledge and skills, such as self-rescue, emergency management and equipment, how to recognise and manage stress in other divers, rescuing panicked divers and unresponsive divers, and how to think like a rescue diver. During the course, you’ll have the opportunity to practise and apply all the things you’ve learnt throughout the course.
