Embark on a transformative experience with the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course is about acquiring the skills to prevent and manage underwater issues while fostering confidence in your diving abilities. Beyond a mere course, it's a purposeful venture that strikes a balance between seriousness and practicality, ensuring every lesson leaves a lasting impact. Uncover the satisfaction of seamlessly integrating problem-solving skills into your diving instincts.
Gain the skills to recognize and respond to dive emergencies, administer emergency oxygen, and manage accidents. Be prepared to troubleshoot and fix common scuba gear issues.
Develop underwater safety techniques, improve navigation skills, and become adept at identifying a diver in distress—whether at the surface or underwater.
Unlike pool-centric training, the majority of the course takes place in open water, simulating actual diving scenarios for a more practical learning experience.
Learn how to rescue both yourself and fellow divers, fostering self-reliance and boosting confidence in challenging underwater situations.
For those aspiring to a professional scuba career, the PADI Rescue Diver certification is a crucial step towards achieving PADI Divemaster or Instructor ratings. It's also a prerequisite for certifying as a Public Safety Diver.
Students dive into chapters 1-5 of the Rescue Diver Book, complete corresponding Knowledge Reviews, and complete a final exam with a minimum of 75%. Two days of training are provided, including pool and open water sessions, and one evening of classroom time prepare divers for open water rescue scenarios. Current CPR certification is mandatory, and if needed, an Emergency First Response (EFR) course is recommended prior to the Rescue Diver course. Cancellation and refund policies ensure flexibility while emphasizing commitment to training excellence.
