Why should you take part in the IDF Junior Rescue Diver course?
The IDF Junior Rescue Diver course is an excellent option for children who have already begun their diving adventure by obtaining the Junior Open Water Diver certification and now wish to continue developing their skills. Mastering self-rescue techniques instils in them a respect for the water and the designated safety limits, as well as a sense of responsibility for their diving buddies. During dives under the watchful eye of an instructor, young rescue divers learn how to deal with equipment failures such as losing a mask or fins, but also how to assist a diving buddy, for example by towing them to shore or helping them stretch a cramped leg.
