RESCUE
This may be the most important class any diver can take.
UTD’s Rescue Diver course is designed to prepare the student for a variety of emergency situations and is centered around both self-rescue and buddy-rescue.
Self-rescue skills begin with accident avoidance, dive planning, comfort in the water under stressful situations, and equipment failures. Buddy-rescue skills include missing diver and search protocols, multiple air-sharing situations, lost mask/no visibility situations, assisting tired, panicked, disoriented, and unconscious divers at depth and on the surface, SMB deployment and surface communications.
The student completing this Rescue class will be more comfortable in the water and will be much more alert in preventing small situations from becoming full-fledged emergencies.
This class covers divers equipped in both UTD/DIR/Hogarthian gear and recreational gear.
