Rescue Diver

You have just exited the water following a successful  dive when another diver suddenly surfaces 50m from shore. He's obviously in trouble but what's the right thing to do? Complete your PADI Rescue Diver course and you will know how to help. Not only that but you'll also learn how to spot the tell tale signs that can help you prevent accidents from developing in the first place and as anyone who's already completed Rescue Diver training will tell you, this is the probably the most challenging and rewarding course in the PADI syllabus -- and it's the most fun too!!

What do I need to start?

• Have successfully completed within the last 24 months, courses in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR-Primary Care) and Basic First-Aid (Secondary Care) with an approved organisation - Emergency First Response training from Ocean Turtle is ideal.

• Have an Advanced Open Water Diver or Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organisation)

• Be at least 12 years old

What will I do?

You will study the material in the Rescue Diver manual and watch the video, answering the questions in each of the Knowledge Reviews, at your own pace. Then you will complete a classroom based review session, during which you will prepare an Emergency Assistance plan for a local dive site with your instructor before mastering 10 rescue skills during one confined water session in the swimming pool.  Then you will  progress to open water to complete  four, realistic, open water rescue scenarios where you will get the chance to be a rescuer, lead a rescue team and be a team member, as well as have a lot of fun!

How long will it take?

The Rescue Diver course can be completed in as little as two days and two evenings. Most of the theory is learnt at your own pace, in your own time and your mastery of the knowledge is then assessed in a classroom session with your instructor.

How much does it cost?

The PADI Rescue Diver Course costs just £245 which includes Crew Pack, Dive Site and Pool Entrance Fees and PADI Certification Fees
