PADI Rescue Diver Course
Become a more confident, capable and aware diver with the PADI Rescue Diver course.
You’ll learn how to recognise and prevent problems, respond to diving emergencies and assist other divers both at the surface and underwater.
Challenging, practical and surprisingly fun, Rescue Diver is often described by divers as one of the most rewarding PADI courses they complete.
Emergency skills • Rescue scenarios • Build confidence • Minimum age 12
Become the Diver Others Can Rely On
The PADI Rescue Diver course changes the way you think underwater.
Instead of concentrating only on your own diving, you'll learn to become more aware of the divers around you, recognise potential problems before they develop and respond effectively when something goes wrong.
Working with one of our PADI instructors, you'll practise self-rescue, assisting tired and panicked divers, responding to underwater problems and managing realistic rescue scenarios.
It's a challenging course, but also one of the most enjoyable and rewarding steps in your diving journey — and an important step if you're considering becoming a PADI professional.
