Course Title: PADI Rescue Diver
OVERVIEW
Off going further with your diving career or just want to know that you can assist if an incident occurs? Then the PADI Rescue Diver Course is for you!
The PADI Rescue Diver course is designed to develop your dive knowledge and skills to effectively perform diver rescues and assists, as well as teach you to manage diving accident situations and apply first aid skills. It is very much a hands on course, with role-playing to gain the experience needed for most dive incidents.
The PADI rescue Diver program takes 3 or more days to complete and is divided into three main areas.
1. Academic Knowledge Development gained through independent study and classroom presentations.
2. Open Water Practical Skills tuition.
3. Open Water Scenario Assessments.
COURSE OUTLINE
The course starts with your pre-course independent study of the Rescue Diver Manual including all quizzes and Knowledge Reviews, which must be completed prior to the first day of your course or in class if time constraint.
Formal course days are divided between academic classroom knowledge development sessions (upon request if not doing independent study), open water skills training, followed by assessment practical application at open water through staged scenarios.
