PADI Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course is a vital step in progressing from simply “protecting yourself” to becoming a diver who can also “protect others.”
You will learn to anticipate a variety of potential problems underwater, practicing accident prevention, early detection of trouble, and appropriate response techniques. By experiencing scenarios such as assisting a tired diver, handling a panicked diver, and performing rescues both at the surface and underwater, you will greatly improve your confidence and responsiveness.

Course Objectives

This course places a strong emphasis on developing leadership skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Divers learn how to monitor and care for others, and how to respond appropriately while remaining calm in emergency situations.

Value of the Course
