Rescue Diver

Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. At DiveMania, talk to the instructors, we still describe it as that, but not only that, we describe it as one of the most fun courses you will do, and it is certainly one of the most fun to teach. Whilst the course is serious, it still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

 

During the course you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. You learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature.

 

PADI (Junior) Adventure Divers who are at least 12 years old and have completed the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive may enroll in a Rescue Diver course.

 

You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. Your instructor may also offer the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider specialty diver course at the same time.

 

What will you learn?

The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. Topics include:
