PADI Rescue Diver Course

The Rescue diver course (often referred to as the most fun PADI course – hard to believe as they are all fun) develops diving accident prevention; emergency management skills whilst ensuring you gain confidence and self-assurance by learning how to assist other divers.

The knowledge development portion of the course develops the principles and information you need for preventing and handling dive emergencies, with topics including self rescue, diver stress, diving first aid, emergency management, equipment problems and rescue and assistance procedures for both conscious and unconscious divers on the surface and underwater.

Knowledge development is achieved by reading the Rescue diver manual, through lectures viewing the course DVD and completing the Rescue Diver exam. Three pool sessions give the training and experience that you require before going for one day to practice what you have learnt by completing the scenarios in the open water.
