Up until this point your diving has been focused on developing your skills to become a better diver. As a Rescue Diver you will learn not only how to take care of yourself but how to look out for the others around you as well. You will learn emergency management skills and how to handle situations that may arise while diving, and more importantly you will learn what to look for to prevent situations from arising in the first place.
Our Rescue Diver course is done over the course of a weekend at our Annapolis store location, which has a pool and a beach. In the weekend course we will focus on three concentrations - knowledge development, skills development, and rescue scenarios. The first day of the course will be dedicated to knowledge development and skills development. We will discuss the lessons in our books and get in the water to develop our Rescue skills. On Sunday we will put the skills we learned on Saturday into practice, participating in a series of Rescue scenarios to test our skills and apply what we have learned to practice.
Prerequisites- Must be an Advanced Open Water Diver or Equivalent and have current CPR and First Aid

I recently achieved my RD cert and had a great experience. Bill, Jeff, Patrick, Harold, Madison and all of the other DM's were great. It was a touch two days and although the visibility down at the Severn River was next to nothing, Patrick and the team made it a fun learning experience. I am definitely going to attain my DM through AE and look forward to the great experience. many more dives.
I participated in the May 1st weekend course at the Annapolis, MD location, with Shane Robinson as the instructor. It was a great course! Our instructor and dive master candidates helped us through all the exercises with much patience and expertise, giving their advice and pointers throughout to expand our knowledge on the given topic. I personally got a lot out of going through the pool work and getting their feedback. If I were to do this course over again, I'd change nothing! It was a great course that went at our pace and focused on building our skills and confidence in the water.
Help us offer you more great classes and trips! Below are a list of events we are pre-selling, just trying to figure out if enough divers are interested to move forward with this.
