After the class, you’ll need to complete the homework in order to continue with the course the next day.

12:45 First Dive

Once on our boat, you will set up your equipment before sitting down with your Instructor and reviewing all the in water rescue scenarios that you learned in the pool the previous day. This will include both surface and underwater responses. The first dive will be focused on ensuring you remember all of the necessary steps for each individual skill.

15:00 Second dive

On this second dive we start to up the stress levels a little, to simulate more realistic conditions. Its important to remember that you are still learning, so little mistakes are bound to happen. But our seasoned Instructors are there to guide you through it, and ensure improvement across each dive.

08:00 Theory Class

We will review all the important theory to make sure you feel confident about it and then head to the beach, where your instructor will conduct a compass and search pattern workshop for you to have a dry run on it.

12:45 First Dive

We will start by running underwater search patterns, so you can practice missing buddy search procedures. We will then move into realistic rescue scenarios.

15:00 Second Dive

On this final boat trip, we are looking for all your learning to come together. You will be in charge of delegating to those around you to help deal with any rescue possibility that comes your way, from man overboard, to unresponsive diver under the water. All of your training up to this point will have you ready. Once we have our ‘victims’ back on the boat our job isn’t over. We need to be thinking about everything. Have we called EMS? Has somebody set up the O2? Can anybody around us offer any assistance? Or do we need to deal with this by ourselves? Our job as professional trainers, is to have you ready for every possible situation.

16:30 Let's Celebrate

We’ll head back to La Bombona where we’ll complete our dive logs. After saving the lives of many, we will get you back to shore for the obligatory certification photo, and celebrations at the beachfront, sunset viewing bar! Congratulations on your master rescue diver certification!
