Rescue Diver
Challenging and rewarding best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they've ever taken.
To enroll the PADI Rescue Diver course, you'll need to be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and must be at least 15 years old. The PADI Junior Rescue Diver program is available if you're between the ages of 12 and 14 and hold a PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent). You'll also need to have successfully completed the PADI Emergency First Response course or a sanctioned program in CPR within the past two years.
During the course you'll cover:
- Self-rescue and diver stress
- Swimming and non-swimming assists
- Emergency management and equipment
- Missing diver search techniques
- Panicked diver response
- In-water rescue breathing protocols
- Emergency exit techniques
