PADI Rescue Diver Course

The Rescue Diver course is an important step in being prepared to deal with diving problems. During the course you'll refine your ability to prevent problems and develop the specific skills you'll need to respond to a diving emergency. The PADI Rescue Diver course may be one of the most important and rewarding steps in your growth as a diver.

Learning about accident prevention and problem management is serious, but it's also a lot of fun! In fact, many divers say the PADI Rescue Diver course is the most enjoyable and rewarding they've taken. It's easy to see why.

The PADI Rescue Diver course:

Strengthens your confidence and proficiency in assisting divers in need.

Develops the self-assurance and skills you need to respond properly in the unlikely event of a diving accident.

Teaches you to anticipate and prevent problems

 The PADI Rescue Diver program is divided into knowledge development and open water training. The knowledge development portion shows you the principles and information you need to prevent and handle dive emergencies, with topics including self-rescue, diver stress, diving first aid, emergency management, equipment problems, and rescue and assistance for both conscious and unconscious victims on the surface and underwater.

During open water training, you'll apply the knowledge you've learned as you develop rescue skills As you master rescue techniques, you'll learn to adapt what you practice to suit the situation: your physical attributes, those of the victim and the nature of the diving environment. The PADI Rescue Diver philosophy say's that there's no single "right" way to perform a rescue; rather, the program provides a "tool box" of techniques and knowledge for you to draw from in an emergency.
