  • Self-rescue techniques
  • Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
  • Assisting tired, panicked, or unresponsive divers
  • Surfacing and safely exiting an unconscious diver
  • Administering in-water rescue breaths
  • Emergency oxygen use and first response coordination

Open Water Scenarios Apply your skills in real-world rescue simulations at sea. These dynamic, supervised exercises prepare you for actual emergencies while building confidence and competence underwater.
