You’ll gain the confidence to anticipate potential emergencies, stay calm under pressure, and respond like a pro if the unexpected happens. By the end, you’ll be able to protect yourself and your dive buddies, making every dive safer and more enjoyable.
Are you ready to become the ultimate dive buddy?
Wen, July 2023:
“I did my EFR and rescue diver courses with the amazing George over this weekend. As most divers said: it was probably the most fun, challenging and fulfilling course you could take, especially with George’s patience and detailed explanations and demos. I really liked the part that George was not pushing just to tick skills off the list but he really took the time for three of us to take turns to practice everything (some even a couple of times) and then discuss with us and comment on what was done right or wrong or could be improved … I definitely feel that I have become (or am still on the way to becoming) a safer and more responsible diver, and ready to embrace more skills and specialties, thanks a lot again, Oyster Diving! Will see you very soon!”
