Although the NAUI Rescue Course is not a mandatory certification for recreational diving; it is nice to know that you have the skill necessary if needed! Taking the NAUI Rescue Diver course will help you gain the additional experiences and skills you are looking for.

The NAUI Rescue course is designed for the diver who wishes to gain the knowledge and skill to perform a rescue if called upon. In this course you will be taught how to deal with prepanic/panic intervention and rescue, accident scene management, and the physical components of performing a proper rescue. With the completion of this course you will feel more confident with your diving, rescue, and safety skills! For the completion of this course you will conduct seven to eight rescue scenarios over the course of two days.
