PADI Rescue Diver
​
Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken.
​
Why? Because 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.
​
During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is a lot of fun – it’s serious subject matter, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.
Course options:
Our Standard Rescue Diver course runs across 1 evening and 2 full days. We include the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course as standard in our Rescue Diver courses, as the skills learned are complimentary to rescue. Essentially you gain 2 qualifications for the price of 1.
