Rescue Diver Course

$450 USD

Could you help?

The PADI Rescue Diver course helps divers look beyond themselves and start thinking about others' welfare and care.

The course will teach divers with more experience about techniques in preventing problems and awareness of potential dangers before, during, and after a dive. The Rescue Diver is a demanding and rewarding course that is practically based.

This course runs in conjunction with the Emergency First Response course. If you do not already have a valid CPR/First Aid course, you will need to attend an EFR course at our center before completing the Rescue Diver course.
