Learn how to take a strategic view of a diving incident with the BSAC Practical Rescue Management course.

This one-day course uses realistic scenarios in a controlled open-water environment to develop the skills needed to manage an effective rescue response.

You’ll take responsibility for a small team, assess the situation as it develops and make the best use of the people and resources available. Rather than becoming directly involved in every task, you’ll learn how to step back, prioritise actions and delegate effectively.

Training covers:

📋 Assessing and prioritising the response
👥 Managing a small rescue team
🏊 Coordinating casualty recovery to a place of safety
➕ Establishing first aid priorities
📞 Summoning the emergency services
🚑 Organising casualty evacuation

You’ll manage at least one complete rescue scenario and receive constructive feedback throughout the course. The practical exercises also provide an opportunity to strengthen your existing personal rescue skills.

📅 Duration: One day
🤿 Prerequisite: BSAC Sports Diver or an equivalent qualification from another recognised training agency
🌊 Format: Theory and controlled open-water practical sessions

The course can also provide sign-off for the Dive Leader (23) theory module LT5 and practical module LP1.

Meet the Boxfish, a quirky group of reef residents belonging to the family Ostraciidae, instantly recognisable by their wonderfully box-shaped bodies.

Their unusual shape comes from a rigid outer shell made from fused bony plates, creating a natural suit of armour around their bodies. Only their eyes, mouth, fins and tail are free to move outside it. 📦

🦐 Boxfish feed on a mixture of algae and small marine creatures, including crustaceans, worms, molluscs and sponges. Some species use jets of water from their mouths to uncover tiny animals hiding beneath the sand.

They are usually found around coral reefs, rocky areas, lagoons and sandy seabeds in warm tropical waters. Boxfish are often solitary and move using their small fins, giving them a distinctive hovering motion that makes them especially fun to watch.

Despite their tough armour, boxfish have another surprising defence. When severely stressed, some species can release a powerful toxin into the surrounding water to deter predators. Definitely best admired without getting too close! 🌊

Depending on the species, boxfish can appear yellow, blue, brown or patterned with spots and honeycomb-like markings. Juveniles are often particularly bright and cube-shaped, looking almost too perfectly square to be real.

🌊 Ready to take your diving further? The BSAC Sports Diver course helps qualified divers build the skills, confidence and experience needed for deeper and more adventurous diving.

🤿 Throughout the course, you’ll develop essential rescue and emergency-management skills, including self-rescue, recovering an unresponsive diver and basic life support. You’ll also learn how to recognise and respond to problems underwater and plan dives involving decompression stops.

📚 Training includes six theory modules, two dry practical sessions, a sheltered-water rescue session, six open-water dives and a short theory exam. Continuous assessment allows you to build your ability throughout the course rather than relying on one final assessment.

After qualifying, you can complete gradual depth-progression dives in five-metre increments, working towards a maximum depth of 40 metres.

💙 Sports Diver is the ideal next step for BSAC Ocean Divers and eligible divers trained through other recognised agencies. Contact Amphibian Scuba to discuss your current qualification and upcoming course dates.

🤿 Prerequisite: BSAC Ocean Diver, Advanced Ocean Diver or an equivalent recognised qualification
🎂 Minimum age: 12
🌊 Depth progression: Up to 40 metres
⚠️ Divers must be 14 or older to progress beyond 20 metres

Meet the Titan Triggerfish, or Balistoides viridescens, a powerful and unmistakable reef resident found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific.

Its name is certainly well earned. Growing up to around 75cm long, the Titan Triggerfish is the largest species of triggerfish and has a strong, deep body, powerful jaws and prominent front teeth. 💪

🦀 Titan Triggerfish feed on sea urchins, crabs, molluscs, tube worms and other hard-shelled reef creatures. Their impressive teeth allow them to crush tough shells, bite through coral and uncover food hidden within the reef.

Adults are usually spotted alone or in pairs around lagoons, sheltered reef slopes and seaward reefs. Younger fish prefer shallow, protected areas with coral rubble and branching corals where they can find plenty of shelter.

Titan Triggerfish are especially famous among divers for their bold behaviour. Females can become highly protective while guarding their nests, so it is important to give them plenty of space and calmly swim away if one begins approaching. They are not looking for trouble, they are simply very dedicated parents!

Look out for their olive-grey bodies, dark markings, yellowish fins, strong teeth and distinctive groove running between the mouth and eye. With their impressive size and confident attitude, they are difficult to miss. 🌊
