Rescue Diver (3 days)

The PADI Rescue Diver will expand your knowledge and experience beyond purely recreational level because you'll learn to look beyond yourself and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.

Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. More importantly, rescue training will increase diving safety for you and your buddies by preparing you to prevent or respond properly to diving emergencies and near-emergencies.

  • Self-rescue and diver stress
  • dive first aid
  • emergency management and equipment
