In my opinion... I found Stress & Rescue Diver certification to be of greater importance in the order of must have certifications than deep or wreck diving. After all, knowing what to do if a dive buddy or another diver in a group gets into trouble and requires immediate assistance is priceless. I am Stress & Rescue certified and I have helped a diver in distress, and I’d rather have everyone head safely home after every dive session, over a discussion on how deep I dived or wow factor aspects of a wreck, during the trip back to shore.

@geemac44 I agree rescue is possibly the best & my favorite recreational course but all of these courses are specialty courses as have been in the last two. Rescue in SDI is a core course.

When stuff hits the fan, humans fall back to muscle memory. 2 day course that you did 2 years ago will be no help for you.
Same as mask clearing that was drilled in you during OW course. Try to pull someone's mask off and see. Most divers will bolt to the surface.
There is a reason pilots do the sim sessions every 6 months.

@@amadeuss3341 I’m not sure if you're commenting to my Stress & Rescue experience and comments, and I hope not as I have already saved a distressed diver to get home alive after an issue at 25metres. Secondly, we address S&R in every predive check and chat. We also practice numerous diver stress issues, like mask removal and turn off gas/no gas scenarios with buddies and dive groups randomly every month. At least 30+ divers have experienced the random scenarios and have subsequently obtained their S&R certification in past 12-months. Only a hand-full of others have obtained either their Deep Diver and/or Wreck Diver certification. Preparation-Planning-Participation & Practice-Practice-Practice are key elements we emphasise to every buddy/diver in our group[s] because heading home safely from an enjoyable dive experience is the only way to tell family & friends about the fun you had. 😀🤿Safe & enjoyable bottom time to all divers👌🤿🇦🇺

I was sure you were gonna have rescue diver as one of these. But now that I think about it, being certified as a rescue diver wont be any good to those you need to rescue if you dont understand and continually practice the basics of these courses. Great video.

[@TampaBayDiving]

Rescue Diver is in the works. Following the theme of the previous two videos this was all about specialities. To become rescue a diver must first obtained advanced and to do that you have to have specialties. Rescue is my all time favorite!
