Ask any Rescue Diver about their certification and they'll spend ten minutes telling you about it. It's the one course people consistently say changed how they dive. The scenarios are stressful by design, Day 3 is tiring, and you'll be running rescues until you get them right. That's also why it works.
Over 3–4 days at Havelock Island, you will learn to prevent diving accidents before they happen, recognise and manage stress in other divers, perform realistic in-water rescues, and run emergency scenarios from start to finish. By the end, you won't just be a safer diver — you'll actually understand what safe diving looks like, and you'll see problems before they become emergencies.
Your course fee covers all knowledge development sessions, confined and open water rescue exercises, equipment rental, and RAID certification processing — everything from the first rescue skill to the card in your inbox.
The Rescue Diver course is the first time RAID requires you to demonstrate first aid knowledge alongside diving skills. The entry requirements reflect this — but they're all very achievable if you've completed your Advanced course.
The Rescue Diver course builds systematically — each session introduces new skills that you then combine in increasingly complex scenarios. By Day 3, you'll be running full open-water rescue situations from start to finish.
Almost every Rescue Diver graduate says the same thing: it completely changed how they dive. You stop being a passive participant and start actively reading your environment and your buddies. The skills are practical, the scenarios are realistic, and the confidence you gain has no equivalent in any other recreational course.
RAID accepts any valid first aid and CPR certification from a recognised training organisation — this includes St John Ambulance, Red Cross, and many others. The certification must be current (typically within 24 months). If you're unsure whether yours qualifies, send us a photo of the card and we'll check for you.
Yes — it is the most physical recreational diving course. You'll be towing divers, performing surface rescues, and doing repeated drills in the water. You don't need to be an athlete, but a basic level of swimming fitness is important. If you can swim 300 metres comfortably, you're ready.
Yes — Rescue Diver is a mandatory prerequisite for the RAID Divemaster course. If becoming a professional diver is your goal, the Rescue Diver course is your next essential step. It's also the best preparation for the leadership responsibilities a Divemaster takes on.
Yes — but in a controlled, staged way. Your instructor will simulate various emergency scenarios and you'll perform the appropriate rescue response. This is the best part of the course. It's realistic enough to feel meaningful but structured so there's no real danger. By the end you'll have "rescued" your instructor multiple times.
Yes — we offer the First Aid & CPR course at Frogman. It's typically a half-day course covering CPR, first aid, and emergency oxygen. You can do it the day before the Rescue Diver course starts. Contact us to arrange the combined package.
The listed price of ₹26,000 excludes GST. 18% GST is applicable as per Indian government regulations, bringing the total to ₹30,680. Your invoice will show the full breakdown for any reimbursement or business claims.
Day 2 was hard — lots of drills, in full kit, and you're tired by the end of it. Day 3 is when everything connects and you run the full scenarios. Went from "I know what rescue breathing is" to actually doing it in the water with a towed unresponsive diver. Took five years of diving to get here and wish I'd done it sooner.
The towing drills are harder than they sound — full kit, open water. But the difficulty is the point. By the time we did the unresponsive diver scenario I knew exactly what I was doing. Every Advanced diver should do this course.
Did the First Aid & CPR and Rescue Diver back to back at Frogman — seamless experience. The Rescue Diver instructors were excellent at making scenarios realistic without being scary. I now dive completely differently — I actually read the water and watch my buddy properly.
I read all the reviews before booking and they all said the same thing. Figured it was exaggerated. It wasn't. The scenarios are genuinely hard, the towing drills will tire you out, and finishing it feels earned in a way most certifications don't. The Frogman instructors are very good at calibrating the difficulty correctly.
