PADI Rescue Course
The PADI rescue course is designed to run after the advanced course. It is a good idea to get comfortable with your own diving abilities and equipment before signing up for this course.
To get into the PADI Rescue Diver program, you’ll need to be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent)and must be at least 15 years old. The PADI Junior Rescue Diver program is available if you’re between the ages of 12 and 14 and hold a PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) rating.
You’ll also need to have successfully completed the PADI MEDIC FIRST AID® program or a sanctioned program in CPR within the past 24 months. The PADI Rescue Diver program covers:
self-rescue
and diver stress
diving first aid
emergency management and equipment considerations
swimming and nonswimming assists
panicked diver response
underwater problems
missing diver procedures
surfacing the unconscious diver
in-water artificial respiration
egress (exits)
first aid procedures for pressure related accidents
dive accident scenarios.
Special notes
The first evening of all courses is in the classroom. All you require is your manuals and a pen.
All evenings start at the shop at 6pm. They finish between 8:30 and 9:30pm.
If you have problems attending a part of the course we will try to slot you in somewhere else, however if one on one training is required or you wish to change weekends mid course there may be a charge. Please check.
