Rescue Diver Course + EFR

Time for what divers around the world call the most challenging yet most REWARDING program in diving!

The Rescue Course is a 3-day program which will help enable you to be prepared for any emergency situation involving other people as well as yourself. You'll become so confident at the end that you'll find it very hard to not want to look around and find problems everywhere so that you can put your hero cape into action.

Some of the things you'll practice: rescue equipment, self-rescue, gear malfunction, transportation of victims, search and rescue, accident reporting and more! A part of the course also include the 1-day Emergency First Aid and CPR program. You can skip this if you have already done the certification in the last 2 years.

You'll do all this with your amazing instructor who will help with any questions or problems, like why that boy or girl won't text you back.

Once you're done the Rescue Specialty, you've also finished one of the pre-requisites to your Divemaster Training! Hint hint... 😉

Once you pass the course (because you're brilliant of course) You'll be certified as a Rescue Diver and also obtain your Emergency First Aid/CPR certificate if you don't already have one. 

The Rescue Diver course is said by some to be the most challenging diver specialty but it is also the most fun. Even instructors find it to be the best to teach. 

You're going to practice and learn lots of new things which can be stressful but all of it will make you a better diver. It's designed to be fun and engaging while also full of important material.

You'll come out of the program with a high degree of confidence because you'll be prepared for anything that can happen. 

That's great! As long as the certificate was issued in the last 2 years, you will not have to do that portion of the course. 

Some dive school say small group sizes and will stick you with 6 or even 8 to 1 instructor just because diving standards allow them to.

We chose our dive centre partners because they maintain higher safety standards and one of the most important ones for us is small group sizes so you'll never be in a group of more than 4 to 1 instructor for your course.

The course includes academic material and sometimes videos that can be accessed via an App on your phone.

You can even start studying this material before you arrive to the location you are doing your course. That way you have evening and nights free to enjoy since you are on holiday afterall!

Check the location page of where you want to do the course as we may offer packages that include accommodation or we will have some places that we can recommend that are nearby the dive centre.

Not a chance. Our goal is not to charge you more when you can go directly and find your own place to go diving.

We have agreements with our dive centre partners in which they reimburse us to pay for our staff pizza dinners and beers. (that'll all we do this for)

Our Pricing Promise also means that there is full transparency in what you see. We don't hide marine park fees or other random stupid things that companies will sometimes not be upfront about. If you have to pay it, we will let you know so you can make your decision with the full information!

We are awesome, that's why!

No but in all seriousness, it's because we love what we do. Every dive centre partner we work with has been personally checked by our team. That means we know the team, we know the managers who run the show and we've also personally been diving with them at some point.

We do confidential feedback checks on all the guests we send and also do our own research to make sure they always stay up to our standards.

Some other companies don't take any actual responsibility for the quality of the bookings they offer but we are not like them.

By having access to multiple dive centres, we can help meet everyone's need when it comes to things such as language requirements, date requirement, agency choice and more options for dive sites.

And finally, our team is lovely. Jump onto WhatsApp and say hello and see for yourself!

You'll always know who you are chatting with and since we are all over the world, you might even meet us in person.

Please don’t be sad. I was pretty tired when I wrote all this so maybe I missed it. OR it’s more likely that your question is so brilliant and amazing that I could never think of it. Chat with us!

Jump into the pool and start brushing up on your basic skills from the Open Water Course. It's time to perfect everything because you will become a certified Rescue Diver at the end of this program.

You'll then begin to learn about different emergency scenarios and how to react in each one. This can include scenarios like missing diver, search and rescue, panic scenarios, self-rescue and much more more. 

On day 2, it's time to take all the skills out to the open water on 2 dives. You'll practice different scenarios and go over the things you learned in the pool session but this time we are in the open water so conditions may not be as easy. 

On day 3, you'll go over any remaining academics and then go on 2 more open water dives to cover any missing skills and programs. 

There will be a bit of roleplay during some of your dives where you'll be tasked with maybe finding a missing diver, or practicing a full rescue and recovery. 

Then it's time for the famous "stress test" This is where the team gets their best acting skills out for a full hour and throws different random unexpected emergency scenarios and you have to be ready to respond to them all.

The most challenging BUT most rewarding part of the program.

This day is for those who don't have a Emergency First Aid/CPR certificate in the last 2 years.

This dry portion of the course will teach you different first aid scenarios and how to manage them. You'll also get to play with the fun CPR doll and learn how to save the poor thing. You'll have to ignore the fact that some of them do not have legs...

The exact schedule in each location and dive centre can vary a little bit but this is a good reference for the general program.

YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS

Hear what some of our fans are saying about us:

I just wanted to write and say that we had such an amazing experience diving with your team in Thailand. Loved every minute, you can really tell they all care about what they do and it was super helpful having someone on the chats ready to help us with any questions.

It was suprising how easy the process was! Everything is so well automated but if you have questions, the crew seems to just always be online ready to help! We booked a diving course as well as some private tours with them and have been so happy with all of it. Thank you again to all of you!

We booked our Open Water Diver course recently and Go Diving really helped us choose the best place. We had an amazing time learning how to dive in Gili T and loved every moment of it. Can't wait to do our next course and we will definitely message Go Diving again!

The team at GoDiving was so helpful when answering any questions we had. We were a bit nervous about booking a scuba course after having a bad experience but they helped create a plan to help us build our confidence and then a week later we became certified divers and love our new hobby so much!
