Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.
The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.
To become a PADI Rescue Diver, you must first complete the one day Emergency First Response Course (EFR), an internationally recognised first-aid certificate.
The full Rescue Diver course is scheduled over 3 days, developing your dive skills to be able to anticipate and prevent potential problems from occurring with both yourself, your dive buddy as well as other divers.
What you’ll learn
- Self rescue
- Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
