Rescue Diver

The Rescue Diver course at Active Diving Würzburg is taught by instructors who hold EFR (Emergency First Response) and Advanced First Aid qualifications — Salome, Christian, Thorsten and Christina all carry these ratings. That means the emergency response component of the course is delivered by people who teach first aid as a separate discipline, not just as a bolt-on to their dive instructor training.

The course follows SSI and i.a.c. standards and is structured with the same flexible scheduling that applies to all Active Diving programmes. Theory, pool sessions and open-water rescue scenarios are arranged by appointment rather than in fixed weekly blocks.

Active Diving operates with a stated accident-free record since 1999, and the Rescue Diver course sits at the centre of how the school approaches safety training: the skills here are considered part of what makes any diver more reliable underwater, not just a stepping stone to Divemaster.

Students must hold Advanced Open Water Diver certification before enrolling. A valid health declaration or medical certificate is required, as with all courses at the school.
