Learn how to be a better buddy by taking the Rescue Diver Course
This course focuses on all aspects of diver safety. The Rescue Diver course is a pivotal step in expanding a diver’s knowledge and experience by giving real world experience. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves to consider the safety and well-being of other divers. This is why the PADI Rescue Diver certification is a prerequisite for all PADI leadership-level training. Rescue Diver training expands the basic problem prevention and accident management skills student divers learned during their Open Water Diver course. At the Rescue Diver level, students are ready to learn to manage more complex dive emergencies and to apply direct intervention techniques to assist others in an emergency. By its nature, the course is demanding and realistic in its conduct, content and approach.
