Recommended Training Providers
We can highly recommend Adventure Scotland for providers of Rescue 3 Swift Water Rescue Training North of the Border. They teach numerous Fire and Rescue Services as well as various Outdoor Professionals and it is this cross fertilisation of various skills, ideas and solutions that we believe enables them to provide a course not out of a book but out of actually doing it. We are proud to choose them as our provider of choice, try them we know you won’t be disappointed.
Does exactly what it says on the Tin, HSE Approved Diver Training.
Rescue 3 International was founded in 1979 after a California search and rescue team nearly lost one of its own during a water rescue. Nearly 30 years later our mission remains the same: to provide flood, water, and rope rescue training to individuals and organizations with an emphasis on ways to keep rescuers from becoming victims. As a result, Rescue 3 has risen to become the recognized leader in water and flood rescue, training over 90,000 students throughout the US and 32 foreign countries. H3O Staff choose Rescue 3 Swift Water Rescue Technician and Advanced Swift Water Rescue Technician qualifications for their worldwide recognition.
