The PADI Rescue Diver program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and render first aid. The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver. PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.

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.

All of these topics are covered in the PADI Rescue eLearning portion of the course.

After successfully completing the program, you'll receive the internationally recognized PADI Rescue Diver certification card.

Be 15 years or older Have a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification (or have a qualifying certification from another organization) Be trained and current for First AId and CPR within the previous two years (Check out Emergency First Response CPR and first aid courses).

We normally shedule an EFR course the weekend prior to the rescue course.

For safety, all students complete the below Scuba Medical Questionnaire that asks about medical conditions that could be a problem while diving. If none of these apply, you sign the form and you're ready to start. If any of these apply to you, as a safety precaution your physician must assess the condition as it relates to diving and sign a medical form that confirms that you're fit to dive.

Apart from your standard dive equipment there are some additional items that you will need for the course.

A Safety Sausage.
Whistle or surface noise maker
A Knife
A pocket mask

Pocket Mask with Oxygen Port

Comments: Everyone said that this course was the most challenging but most rewarding and, by the time I finished it, I felt exactly the same. It was heaps of fun, and I feel so much more confident as a diver now. Instead of being confused, afraid, or frozen when things go pear-shaped I know how to react appropriately and this knowledge makes diving all the more enjoyable.

"WOW!"

Comments: This is definately a weekend and course that I will never forget - so much fun and so much to learn not only about safe diving and looking out for fellow divers but I got to learn so much about myself and how I can be a responsible diver. Lisa Russel and Dean Thorpe were amazing instructors making it so much fun especially with the scenarios.
