How do you react correctly in a diving accident? How do you provide first aid? And how do you avoid diving emergencies and problems?
You will learn this and much more on the PADI Rescue Diver course. In theory and practice, you not only learn to recognize problems before they occur, but also how to provide efficient help in a real life emergency. The Rescue Diver goes far beyond a normal first aid course and deals with diving-specific problems and accidents.
You prepare yourself for the theory part of the course in advance using e-learning or a book.
In two training sessions in shallow water you will learn and practice techniques for self-rescue, rescuing panicked and unconscious divers and much more.
You will then put your newly acquired skills to the test in simulated training scenarios in open water.
The PADI Rescue Diver course is recognized as one of the most challenging yet rewarding courses you can do.
