Who should take this course?
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 just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.
Prerequisites: Adventure Diver/Junior Adventure Diver (or qualifying certification) with completed Underwater Navigation Dive
You are required to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training before starting the Rescue Diver course with one of our certified EFR instructors. Your instructor may also offer the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider specialty diver course at the same time, let us know if you are interested!
Total time commitment: 4-7 days
Minimum age: 12 years or older
eLearning time commitment: 8-12 hours
