PADI Rescue Diver
Do you want to become a better dive buddy?
Being a Rescue Diver is about giving you the knowledge and skills to better care for yourself as well as other divers, both in and out of the water.
The Rescue Diver course will help you to prevent dive emergencies and also prepare you to act in dangerous situations such as a panicked diver.
Most of the divers consider their rescue training as one of the most challenging, but also most rewarding courses they've taken.

Rescue Exercises: afterwards, you will learn the proper technique to handle emergency situations underwater and at the surface, like tired diver, panicked diver and missing diver.
