If your agency needs an in-house Dive Rescue I Trainer, Dive Rescue International’s Trainer Academy is your solution. The Trainer Academy is designed to accelerate the process of becoming a Dive Rescue I Trainer. Available:
*Dry Suit Diving Trainer
This program is conducted in a classroom, pool and an open-water site to allow students to practice their new skills in a controlled environment before the field scenarios. Program topics include: Dry Suit History, Types of Dry Suits, Dry Suit Accessories, Proper Sizing and Custom Adjustments, Emergency Procedures, Repairs, Care and Maintenance.
