    Rescue Diver Course

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    It really depends on what you really want. If you take in Singapore waters, there's only 2-3 dives and half a day that you can practise your skills on. You may not be competent and confident enough if the need arises for you to rescue someone. We have seen some DMs that actually stayed on the boat or swam away when divers almost got drowned on the surface.

    I had my RDC on a Kuantan LOB, it was really tough because the instructors can just jump into the water anytime he wants. We have about 7-8 dives and a lot of time in between dives to try out different scenarios and practise them.

    Being a rescue diver is not just about getting the cert. Make sure you have enough knowledge and confidence to save someone when someone is drowning or panicking. I would suggest going for a course at Dayang where u have more dives to practice your skills on, or better still, a LOB. :lol::lol: I lost quite a bit of weight during my RDC. :(

    Anyone going to take AOW???

    The first aid course from St John is valid. There is no requirement to take the EFR from PADI. Can save you quite a significant sum of $$. :lol: The EFR course covers more skills pertaining to diving whereas the course from St john covers a wider area. Its much longer too :snore:

    Get yourself fit before you go for your rescue course. It's the most physically demanding course of the PADI's syllabus. :lol:

    i lost my dive log book.....where can buy a new 1...any kind of dive log book is ok right??

    Most dive shops will sell... alternatively, you can get a binder and either make your own log sheets or buy them and slot the sheets in after every dive :)

    Does it mean I order though them? I called them, they do not even know what I am talking about. Someone please help! Need the tube urgently!

    If you really need quality T5 tubes urgently, get D&D first lor... the contact you called is for domestic lightings.. not aquarium lightings.
