The divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging one, although is the most rewarding course for anyone that has ever done it. Why? Because you learn how to prevent and manage problems in the water and you become a diver more confident with your skills, knowing that you can help others if they need it. During the course, you will learn how to become a better partner in practicing problem resolutions techniques until it becomes second nature to you. Furthermore, the course is fun- but serious, although it allows a lot of laughs centered on the learning.
Who can do this course?

You’ll also need to have the Emergency First Response Primary training and the Secondary Care (RCP and First Aid) within the last 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. Your instructor can also offer you the specialty diving PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course at the same time.
