Become a better diver<\/h3>\n<p>No matter what course you are taking, we just want you to take one. \u00a0 The more you learn about and participate in a certain activity the better you are going to get at it. \u00a0So, whether you're taking a Rescue Diver course or Underwater Photography class you're getting more hours underwater which means you're practicing to become a better diver. \u00a0And that's always a good thing!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.underseas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rescue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.underseas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rescue-150x132.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a>3. You'll learn CPR \/ First Aid<\/h3>\n<p>If you're not certified in CPR \/ First Aid already, after taking a Rescue Diver course you will be, as it is one of the requirements to take the course. \u00a0With the world we live in today, everyone should know how to administer CPR and basic First Aid in a time of need. \u00a0This will be something you can carry with you-you're entire life.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Advance your search and recovery skills<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the Rescue course is learning how to search for lost items using different underwater search patterns. \u00a0Increasing your navigation skills underwater is always a good thing as it will increase your comfort in the water and could come in handy the next time you drop something valuable over the side of the boat.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.underseas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/14715497_1177889882258526_7022985513769765193_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.underseas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/14715497_1177889882258526_7022985513769765193_o-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>5.
