The PADI Rescue Diver course develops your diving knowledge and skills to enable you to effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and render first aid in a diving situation.
The programme is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver and is a hugely rewarding three day programme.
During days 1 and 2 you will cover knowledge development and confined water exercises. The third day is conducted in open water, where you combine all the skills and knowledge gained into a number of simulated dive accident scenarios.
If you do not have a first aid certificate the Emergency First Response course can be conducted in one day prior to the Rescue Diver course.
Price includes tuition and hire of equipment, manual & certification fee.
Please note that the course manual is required by PADI standards for participation in the course.
