Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course develops your dive knowledge and skills from Open Water and Advanced open water level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. They learn to recognise and prevent problems and if necessary effectively perform diver rescues, diving accident management and the application of first aid skills. It’s a fun, demanding and very rewarding course that will build hugely on your diving skills and confidence.

There’s even more. Rescue Diver is a unique course that not only provides the skills to make you a safe diver and a better dive buddy, but it’s also basic for anyone thinking of becoming a diving professional. This engrossing program teaches you to focus on other divers, as well as yourself, and shows you how to recognize and prevent a diving accident before it occurs, and how to respond if one does. Although the subject matter is serious, the course is both intensely rewarding and enjoyable.
