PADI Rescue Diver

Become a PADI Rescue Diver. It could save your life! Or you may even save someone else’s life!

PADI Rescue Divers are great dive buddies. Becoming a Rescue Diver builds your confidence in your own ability. You can enjoy scuba diving, knowing you have the training to deal with potentially dangerous situations.

Why become a Rescue Diver?

Rescue Diver training expands your knowledge of diving, increases your level of diving skills, and makes you more aware of your surroundings. By being a trained PADI Rescue Diver, you have the skills to safely respond to diving emergencies. More importantly, you’ll learn to manage dive sites to prevent problems from occurring.

The PADI Rescue course takes two days to complete, along with self study theory prior to the practical training. We run them regularly over weekends or on demand in small groups of 3 or more.

Course content- what’s in a PADI Rescue Course?

The course takes you through the theory of stress and rescue situations, and procedures for conducting rescues.

Over 2 days you will conduct a series of practical training sessions either in the sea, or in a pool, which prepares the student for the scenario style assessment in the final open water sessions.

First Aid training is required prior to this course and self study of the Rescue manual is needed before the start of the course. This helps with a full understanding of the theory before completing the Rescue Theory exam.

This course can be recognized when training with us as the RTO accredited “SISOSCB006 Perform Diver Rescues” course and a certificate issued for that level. Only RTO accredited PADI Dive Centre’s like us can offer this.
