Rescue Diver Course

PADI Rescue Diver – Learn how to Help others

After you have been certified as a PADI Advanced Diver and you have also got your EFR certification (or equivalent), you can learn how to anticipate and efficiently respond to all critical situations that either yourself or a fellow diver may find themselves in.
In the PADI rescue course you will learn the theory and procedures for organizing, and putting into action, a search for a missing diver. You will learn how to carry out an effective underwater search and how to bring a victim to the surface safely. Step by step you will learn how to remove a victim’s equipment whilst giving rescue breaths and get him/her out of the water and onto the dive boat. You will also learn how to administer oxygen.
The Rescue Diver training covers and repeats the prevention of simple problems and all emergency procedures that you have been taught since your PADI Open Water Course.
The Rescue Diving Course will also teach you how to react efficiently to help a distressed and/or panicked scuba diver on the surface.
At rescue diver level, you will also be ready to learn how to manage more complex diving emergencies and apply these skills directly in order to help others in an emergency situation. Due to its nature, the rescue course is a bit of work, but the outcome, content and context are made as realistic as possible. However, the nature of such training and the context in which it can be used is so serious; the course remains to be fun and good spirit.

The Rescue Diver course is perfect for scuba divers who want to improve their self confidence underwater and above. The PADI Rescue Diving Training is also the last step before going into a professional level of scuba diving. These courses are further explained in the Divemaster, the Assistant Instructor and the PADI Scuba Diving Instructor (OWSI) sections.
