Surface rescue training

Two divers practising a rescue in the pool

Being a strong swimmer isn't the same as being ready to help. This session put students through 200- and 400-yard swims, a 50-yard victim tow and in-water rescue drills.

It's the same standard I hold myself to on every guided dive: if something goes wrong, I'm ready.
