PADI Rescue Course + EFR


Rewarding and fun – that 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 serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence, most divers will tell you that this is the best course they've taken!

How does it work?
Firstly, you will need to do some independent study. The PADI Rescue Diver crewpak includes all materials required to complete the PADI Rescue Diver course. You’ll learn how to think like a rescue diver and preview skills you’ll practice with your PADI Instructor. This knowledge and technique will give you the expertise to handle almost any emergency situation.

The PADI Rescue Diver course is the newest addition to the PADI eLearning® family. Rescue Diver Online gets you started right away and lets you learn at your own pace and in your own time.

The course is normally completed over 2 days where you will learn some rescue exercies before moving onto some really fun scenarios. The Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. During the confined and open water sessions, you'll cover:

* Self-rescue and diver stress
* Diving first aid
* Swimming and non-swimming assists
* Egress (exits)
* Surfacing the unconscious diver
* Underwater problems
* Missing diver procedures
* Panicked diver response
* In-water artificial respiration
* Dive accident scenarios
* First aid procedures for pressure related accidents
* Emergency management and equipment considerations

After successfully completing the programme, you'll receive the internationally recognised PADI Rescue Diver certification card.
