With its emphasis on prevention, self-rescue, and the importance of managing situations effectively, the Rescue Diver Course will equip you to deal with a wide range of typical problems, making you a better buddy and increasing your confidence as a diver.

What does the course involve?

Assuming you have done PADI eLearning your course will consist of  2 days of pool diving, shore diving and class work, equipping you with basic skills such as assisting a panicking diver, surfacing an unconscious diver, and out of air drills.

In the classroom you will learn how to quickly identify stress in divers and how to minimise the risks associated with differing diving conditions.

The third day will be spent on the boat simulating emergencies, conducting searches, and learning how best to manage the human resources available, as well as learning how to administer oxygen and in-water artificial ventilation techniques. Be prepared for unexpected rescue scenarios!
