Why take a course?
What will you learn?
The IDF Junior Rescue Diver course is a comprehensive course that addresses rescue issues from the theoretical side – from typical cases to injuries caused by marine organisms and also – from the practical side. During the dives under the watchful eye of an instructor, young rescuers learn how to deal with equipment failures such as the loss of a mask or fins, but also how to help their diving partner, such as towing him to shore or helping him to stretch his leg with a cramp.
