The PADI RNLI Diver Sea Survival Specialty Course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to deal with unexpected emergency situations whilst diving.
You will also learn how to initiate a faster and more effective rescue. Mastering sea survival skills will give you additional confidence if you find yourself in an unwanted situation whilst diving.
The highlight of this course however is when we get to stage a lost diver group for the Swanage Lifeboat on the final dive, and they are then tasked with finding and rescuing us.
You will be got into lifeboats and off again and both us, as divers, and importantly the lifeboat crew will all learn loads from each other.
