RESCUE DIVER COURSE (INCLUDES EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE COURSE)
The course starts daily with minimum of two students. If you are also doing your Dive Master Training with us we can simply incorporate your Rescue training into the schedule.
The PADI Rescue Course is the next step in your dive training whether you are planning on heading to professional level Dive Master and Instructor or just improving your own diving skills. This course is the first course that introduces you to how you can really help another diver who has a problem. You will also learn and practice self-rescue techniques that will make you a more confident & competent diver and dive buddy. Everyone who completes this course agrees that they are far more confident in their own abilities and more comfortable as divers - thus increasing their enjoyment and dive options.
The Rescue Course is generally run over two days. It includes video presentations, theory sessions and in-water sessions. There are 12 exercises during the in-water sessions and these progress in complexity from the basic Tired Diver to Unconscious Divers to Diving Accident Scenarios.
