PADI Rescue Diver

Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

To become a Rescue diver, you need to be an advanced divers of at least 12 years old. You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. To start we can set you up with the PADI Elearning so you can complete all your knowledge development at home before your holiday

Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. During the five open water sessions, you’ll cover:
• Self-rescue
• Swimming and non-swimming rescue techniques
• Emergency management and equipment
• Panicked diver response
• Underwater problems response
• Missing diver procedures
• Surfacing an unconscious diver
• In-water rescue breathing protocols
• Egress (exits)
• Emergency oxygen delivery systems
• Dive accident scenarios

Your knowledge development can be completed at home at your own pace with the PADI Elearning. All PADI courses are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Generally a full rescue diver course will take 3 to 4 days to complete.
