The best diver isn’t the one who never has any problems—but the one who knows how to handle a situation when something goes wrong. Learn to recognize stress before it escalates into panic, keep a cool head in a crisis, and effectively assist a diver who has gotten into trouble.
Most diving accidents do not start with equipment failure, but with stress. A small problem that a diver cannot handle mentally can quickly turn into panic—and panic is often the real cause of serious situations underwater. The Stress & Rescue course is about how to break this chain before it begins.
You’ll learn two interconnected skills: how to prevent stress and stay calm in a crisis situation yourself, and how to recognize and help a diver who is stressed or in distress. You’ll gain the confidence that will make you not only a safer diver but also a partner you can rely on.
