Heli Diver (SCUBA) Specialty
T
his course is
the civilian qualifying course for helo-casting or
deplaning (hover exit) from a helicopter for both rescue swimmers
and Search & Rescue Divers for the SCUBA industry. It is also
designed to give
divers an insight into what para-rescue divers
and Navy Seal Teams
do
as part of regular
helicopter
based
operations. At
the same time, it gives
divers
an adrenalin
pumping
experience they will never forget !
Low level flight and insertion by helicopter
is usually exclusive
to military
and rescue personnel, but through Global Rescue's team
of highly experienced dive instructors, it makes us the only
company
in the world to offer accredited diver training and certification and
gives divers
the opportunity to
experience first hand what
it is like.
