Rescue Diver PADI

Overview

Most of us understand the importance of knowing how to provide first aid in everyday life. Being under the water puts much more responsibility on our every choice and action. How to help your buddy partner and keep yourself safe? How to deal with stress or even panic? What procedures to follow in case of emergency? How to search for a missing diver? What to do in case you have found your buddy partner unconscious? You will find out the answers during your Rescue diver course. This is your 3rd step in diving certification and, as we like to say - your first adult course in diving. Now you are not just a student. Now you are the diver who can tell everyone what to do when every second counts. Most of certified Rescue divers admit that they use their knowledge about stress and panic in everyday life. If you are a certified, confident diver following the rules you learned in previous courses, you will probably not cause any emergency. But unfortunately, it does not always depend on us and our choices. The understanding that you can identify the signs of stress and respond to any unpredicted situation while diving gives you much more confidence and calmness under the water. Participate in the Rescue Diver course and increase your level of comfort in diving!

Course schedule: The Rescue Diver course consists of the theory session followed by the final exam, a confined water session, and 5 open water dives full of new challenges for you!

Day 1: theory session, exam, and the confined session will last for the whole day. Our team member will pick you up early in the morning and will give you a lift back to the hotel in the evening.

Days 2 and 3: you will have 2 or 3 open water dives each, depending on the schedule you will set up with your instructor. :

Prerequisites:

• AOWD certificate
• EFR Primary and Secondary Care training (or equivalent training) made within the last 24 months 
• no medical contraindications to SCUBA diving
• preflight surface interval of 18 at least hours after your last dive
