Diver Stress & Rescue

The Stress and Rescue course at Deep Fin is run in the same waters where the centre does all its guided diving — the southwest coast of Tenerife inside the Teno-Rasca marine protected zone. Training in a real environment rather than a pool-only setting means the skills are practiced in the actual conditions where they'd be needed: Atlantic water, boat-based operations, and the varied topography of volcanic reef sites.

The course covers recognising and managing stress in divers, self-rescue techniques, and assisting other divers in difficulty. It's a significant step up in diver confidence and is commonly taken by divers who plan to dive regularly or want to consider divemaster training later.

Deep Fin delivers this through instructors certified with both SSI and PADI. Groups are small by policy, which means more direct time with the instructor during practice scenarios. At €380, a resident discount is available on request. A combined package with Diver React Right (first aid) is offered at €430 for both courses together.

The medical declaration must be completed before starting. Documentation is available from the centre in digital format and can be submitted before arrival.
