The course divers call challenging — and the most rewarding.

The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches you to look beyond yourself: to spot problems before they happen, help other divers, and respond calmly when something goes wrong.

What you will learn

  • Self-rescue and recognising stress in other divers.
  • Emergency equipment and oxygen first aid.
  • Helping panicked and unresponsive divers, at the surface and underwater.
  • Emergency management and accident procedures.

How the course runs

  • Knowledge development: PADI eLearning at your own pace.

  • Women-only sessions with female instructors are available.
  • On completion you receive the PADI Rescue Diver certification.
