The Rescue Diving Manual is the text-book literary assistant to the SDI Rescue certification course. By signing up for this course, the perspective student will be able to gain the ability and confidence in aiding another person in the scuba diving environment. There are an almost infinite number of scenarios that can require a practiced response to help another scuba diver in trouble. This manual provides the information to help a student learn and master independent scuba diver skills for self-help as well as being able to assess and respond to others. A variety of subject areas are included, with in-depth information regarding dive planning, equipment preparation, emergency skills and rescue techniques, causes of scuba diving accidents, search and recovery, first aid, and finally recompression chambers and diver therapy.

Using the Rescue Diving manual as a reference, students may utilize the Knowledge Quest Work Booklet by answering the provided questions with the most appropriate and accurate answers. The Knowledge Quest is designed to be used as an assessment for enrolled students and their respective instructors.
