The PADI Rescue Diver course will teach you how to assist and rescue divers that are experiencing difficulties as well as become a more aware dive buddy.

It is not only extremely helpful in learning how to gauge stress levels in other divers but also in you.

The course consists of a combination of theory and pool training, then putting your skills to practice in the sea. The final day will include some rescue scenarios where you can put all of your newly acquired skills into practice.

This course does not include gear hire. $100 hire fee covers gear for the duration of the course.

*Please note that a current first aid certificate is required for certification as a PADI Rescue Diver. Please contact us for first aid course availability.

Prerequisites:

Be 15 years or older
PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent certification
Medical Statement filled out
Be trained and current for First Aid and CPR within the previous two years (This can be run alongside the Rescue Diver Course if required. Click here for more information about First Aid training)

The Rescue Diver course has three main components:

Knowledge development (studied online, independently prior to the confined water session) to give you an introduction to how to assess potential rescue situations and the skills needed to perform a successful rescue.
Confined water training, where we take the theory and put it into practice. You will be shown different rescue techniques and how to adapt them to different situations. The pool session will help you to get the core skills mastered before trying them out in the sea.
Open Water Training - You will build on the skills learnt in the pool and practice them in open water.

Rescue Scenarios - at the end of the course you will take part in two or more 'real life' scenarios where you will decide on, and enact, a course of action to help a diver, based on the skills you have already mastered.

The course typically takes place over 3-4 days, depending if First Aid training is required.

If the answers are all NO, you don't need to see a doctor. Please get in touch if you have any questions. You can find the form here.
