PADI Rescue Diver

Description

If you ask divers about their favorite training, many would point to the Rescue Diver course as both challenging and rewarding. It takes approximately 2-3 days and focuses on teaching you skills to handle emergencies underwater and assist other divers. The Rescue course not only contributes to making you a safer diver but also improves your overall scuba diving abilities and understanding of how to recognize situations where assistance is required.

The PADI Rescue Diver course covers self-rescue techniques, dealing with various dive emergencies, and using different strategies for both minor and major situations underwater and at the surface. The training includes a mix of theory and hands-on rescue exercises to help you recognize signs and respond effectively.

You’ll practice your skills in simulated rescue scenarios, both in pools and open water. By the end, you’ll be equipped to handle stressed-out divers, manage emergency situations, and assist panicky or unresponsive fellow divers whether you’re on a boat or at the shore. Additionally, you’ll learn how to use an emergency oxygen kit.
