Rescue Divers Make Waves!

How can divers make waves without even getting in the water?

The Rescue Diver Course shows you exactly how to make waves without even getting in the water! Just as many of the critical aspects of the class happen topside as do under the sea!

Bob (second from right) instructs rescue students with the variety of options available to them in aiding a diving patient in recovery--the benefits of different pocket and resuscitation masks; both continuous and demand-flow regulated oxygen. DAN (Diver's Alert Network) is discussed as a critical piece of the rescue puzzle as is supplemental classes such as DAN's course offerings or PADI's Emergency Oxygen Provider. Call the experts at Great Lakes Dive Center for even more information!

Another dry student plays through a scenario where distressed divers can be helped without even entering the water. Actual experience leads to higher confidence in a multitude of situations--the result is a more prepared responder and more confident dive buddy!

What happens when you catch a big fish?! First you have to get it into the boat! Here, she demonstrates pulling a distressed diver up and out to safety.

But any responsible angler knows the value of catch and RELEASE! So she decides to throw this fish back in the water to let another lucky Rescue Diver student test their skills. (BTW, No rescue diving student patients were harmed during this filming! ;-)
