RESCUE DIVER Recognise, Prevent And Manage Problems And Be A Better Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver & Emergency Oxygen Provider Course with ACADEMY OF SCUBA

"Challenging" and "rewarding" best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you've already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.

Plus, Academy of Scuba includes training for the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider as standard. This is to ensure that all our divers are being trained to the highest level and have a holistic understanding of emergency management if a diving accident should occur.

What You Learn

The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. Topics include:

Self rescue
Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
Emergency management and equipment
Rescuing panicked divers
Rescuing unresponsive divers

We practice these skills extensively so that if you are to ever find yourself in a situation where you need to use them, they will come naturally.

At the end of this course you will not only find yourself a far more confident diver, able to not only look out for yourself, but look out for other divers as well.

N.B. The Rescue Diver certification is also a pre-requisite for becoming a Master Scuba Diver - the highest non-professional PADI rating.
