What will you learn?

The PADI Rescue Diver Course is the most important course along the journey of a recreational Scuba Diver and it’s the bare minimum a recreational diver should achieve in their quest for certifications, while our Rescue Diver program is the most in-depth and thorough offering.

Most Scuba Divers encounter a problem above or below the water at some point in their career, so knowing how to prevent and control these problems before they happen is essential.

Dive Accidents are most likely to happen to new divers within the first 20 dives of their career, but what happens if they’re unprepared for these obstacles? This can lead to unfavourable outcomes.  Our PADI Rescue Diver Course helps you create the right responses to failures, accidents, injuries and other scenarios through some very realistic knowledge and water development sessions.

The PADI Rescue Diver Course helps give Scuba Diver’s a more adequate self image of themselves under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor.

Learn how handle a situation when things go wrong underwater or on the surface, as we make some of the wildest and most imaginable scenarios possible.

You can pair the PADI Rescue Course with PADI Emergency First Responder and PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Courses at a Discounted Bundle and save money today.
