Commonly Asked Questions

All the essential details you must know before beginning your Rescue and EFR training.

What qualifications are needed to start the Rescue Diver program?
A current Advanced Open Water certification (or its equivalent from agencies like SSI, CMAS, ADIP, etc.) is mandatory. You must also hold a valid Emergency First Response (EFR) Training credential, which you can conveniently complete just before or concurrently with your Rescue Diver training here.
Is EFR completion required prior to starting the Rescue course?
Absolutely. EFR is a strict requirement for earning the Rescue Diver card. Fortunately, you can take both consecutively with us. EFR requires one day, followed by three days for the Rescue program, totaling four days.
How do PRO ISO 24801, SSI, and ADIP Rescue courses differ from each other?
All listed organizations issue globally respected Rescue Diver credentials. The curriculum and practical skills are essentially identical. PRO ISO 24801 boasts the highest global brand awareness, SSI provides fantastic digital value, and ADIP is the most budget-friendly choice. Every certification is valid worldwide.
Does the Rescue Diver program require high physical fitness?
The Rescue Diver program demands more physical and mental exertion compared to earlier scuba training. You'll engage in diver towing, surface rescues, and complex emergency management. We advise a decent fitness level and aquatic comfort, though our instructors will tailor the pace to your capabilities.
Will we encounter manta rays while doing rescue dives?
Yes, absolutely! Your open water rescue scenarios will occur at premier diving bali locations. This includes regular excursions to Manta Point, boasting a 90% chance of encountering manta rays. It's very common for students to see mantas during their rescue exercises.
Must I enroll in EFR separately?
If you wish to book the Rescue Diver program, just inform our team, and we will seamlessly arrange both the EFR and Rescue training back-to-back. We list the prices individually for complete transparency.
What are my options after earning the Rescue Diver certification?
Achieving your Rescue Diver rating opens the door to professional scuba careers. Your immediate next milestone is the Divemaster Certification, where you'll start guiding certified divers and aiding instructors. This rating is also mandatory before starting any technical or professional scuba curriculum.
