Stress & Rescue
The Stress & Rescue course at Orca Diving covers recognition and management of stress in the water and the skills needed to assist or recover another diver. It runs from the Club Nàutic de l'Escala using the centre's classroom for theory and the local waters for practical sessions. The centre lists it alongside React Right as part of their safety-focused course offer. The l'Escala setting provides calm and sheltered water options for practising rescue scenarios, with the Janity available for open water sessions when needed. Small groups are the standard format across all Orca Diving courses, which is particularly relevant here — rescue training works better when the instructor can watch and correct each student individually rather than running drills across a large group. The BAHUER compressor fills cylinders on site and Cressi-Sub rental equipment is available for students without their own kit. The classroom is used for the theory component, which covers stress recognition, problem prevention and rescue techniques. The centre's accredited instructors run both this course and the React Right first aid course, so the two can be combined if scheduling allows. At 380€, the Stress & Rescue is priced identically to the Advanced Adventure, positioning it as an intermediate-level investment. It is a standard step for divers working toward the Divemaster track, though it is also taken by recreational divers who want a more rounded skill set.
Dive Guide
The Dive Guide specialty at Orca Diving is listed in both the speciality and professional sections of their course menu, which reflects its dual nature — it is an SSI speciality certification but also the first step toward the professional track. At 700€ it is the highest-priced non-Divemaster course on the menu. The course trains divers to plan and lead dive groups in a guide capacity. Oscar Diving's three operating zones — Costa de l'Escala, Montgrí Illes Medes i Baix Ter, Cap de Creus — provide a realistic working environment for a guide course. The different bottom types (sandy, pinnacles, walls, wrecks, caves) and the variability of conditions across those protected marine zones mean students learn to make real decisions about site selection and group management, not just textbook scenarios. The centre's instructors are themselves accredited guides who run the daily dive programme, so the teaching draws directly from working experience in these waters. Small groups across all Orca Diving courses mean the student-to-instructor ratio is kept workable. Cressi-Sub rental equipment is available and cylinders are filled on site. For divers who complete the Dive Guide and want to continue, the Divemaster at 800€ is the logical next step on the SSI professional pathway. The centre runs both, and the combination forms a clear progression toward an Assistant Instructor qualification at 900€.
