As divers we all find ourselves in or around water and if you want to build on your core first-aid and lifesaving skills, not just in a diving environment, this award is for you. It will recognise your advanced rescue skills, relevant to both sheltered and open-water situations.
The Lifesaver Award assesses your lifesaving proficiency and diver-rescue skills within a pool or sheltered water environment, covering rescue methods suitable for use from shore or boat. You need to pass an examination with two sections – a dry theoretical and practical test and a wet practical test. Lifesaver theory covers the human body, diver rescue and basic life support; Lifesaver in-water skills include towing and throwing rescues.
To enrol on the Lifesaver Award you must have already successfully completed an Ocean Diver course (or have equivalent certification from another recognised training agency) and be a minimum of 12 years of age.
