Rescue Diver Training

Rescue Diver is a valuable certification level for any diver. Being familiar with steps to take in an emergency situation can make all the difference when an incident occurs. Whether it is how to get an unconscious diver from the bottom to the surface or how to deal with puncture wounds, the rescue diving course is an invaluable class.


After classroom work and pool diving, we went to Lake Lanier to practice our skills in the field. The water was chilly, so 7mm wetsuits and hoods were worn.



Mauritus Bell and intern Windsor Gray, along with the GAI volunteers and staff involved in the rescue course, practice assisting a tired diver.
