Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and recognize stress in others and will have the knowledge to be able to diffuse this before stress levels rise to the point where panic occurs. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies
Rather than just worrying about what happens AFTER an accident happens – at Wicked Diving – our Similan Liveaboard Rescue Diver Course focuses on stress and its diffusion. We explain how dives should be conducted so that everyone has a good time in a comfortable and safe environment where stress is not factor – Preventing the accidents We focus on Reducing the or Eliminating the factors that cause stress – why most accidents happen
Our Rescue course is especially designed to expose you to problems and scenarios that you may one day have to deal with. During your training the Wicked Dive team will equip you with the specific skills and techniques you will need to be able to confidently and decisively manage the situation. We share our extensive knowledge of dive accidents, we will teach you a whole new set of skills and of course we will familiarize you with equipment you need in Rescue Scenarios. Our staff are not only experienced as Rescue divers, but we are the official evacuation center for the Similan Islands and we have TWO Dive Medics on staff.
The course done on our liveabaord will teach you the many factors that could cause accidents on a liveaboard. The unique situations that could arise will be played out in our real-life scenarios. You will be challenged – this will not just be a fun liveaboard with a few skills here and there – this will be an intense course. The very experienced team at Wicked Diving will walk you through all the steps involved in preventing, recognizing and dealing with dive accidents while at sea.
