GUE Primer Rescue (REC 2)

The GUE Rescue Primer teaches the diver the basic rescue methods relevant for diving accidents. The main learning objectives include:

• Helping a stressed diver on the surface
• Rescue of an unconscious diver
• Surface management of a diving accident
• Life-saving emergency measures for DCS

A completed GUE Rec1 or GUE Fundy Rec certification is a prerequisite for participation in the course. Further course requirements can be found under the following link:

The course usually lasts 2 days and includes open water dives, theory lessons and dry practice. If required, the Rescue Primer can also be combined with an "EFR" first aid course. Here the participant receives even more knowledge and training in primary care for accident victims.
