RNLI Sea Survival Diver

If you’re in danger at sea, knowing what to do can make the difference between life and death. You could be rescued more quickly or may not even need rescuing if you have the right diving survival skills and kit.

​

The RNLI Diver Sea Survival course covers:

​

• dive planning

• dive preparation

• navigation and safety equipment on dive boats

• diving in low-visibility conditions

• how to deal with out-of-air emergencies

• use of surface marker buoys (SMBs)

• ways of calling for help

• how to deal with an emergency on the surface.

​

You'll complete two open-water dives to practise the skills and techniques you've learned and this certification also counts towards the Master Scuba Diver rating.
