The PADI Rescue Diver course is the ultimate challenge for scuba divers! It's known to be tough, but
also super rewarding.
In this course, you learn how to deal with any problems that might come up while diving, and because
of that, you become way more confident in your diving skills and feel like a superhero ready to save
the day!
You'll learn to be the best dive buddy ever by practicing how to solve problems together. And the
best part? It's not all serious – there are plenty of laughs and fun times in between all the
learning.
In this course, you'll take on some theories of emergency situations, as well as practice them for
real out in the deep.
This course starts with a day at the pool, as well as 4 dives over 2 days in the ocean, to really
put those skills into practice.
There are self-rescue skills to review before we introduce you to the main 10 rescue exercises.
You'll learn how to support a stressed diver, how to assist a tired diver, as well as advanced
search and recovery patterns and supporting unresponsive divers.
Any diver who wants to improve prevention, self-rescue and the ability to assist others.
