As a PADI scuba diver, you are now comfortable in planning and conducting your own dives, and more than able to continue along your own personal underwater journey, but what if things don’t go to plan? Can you cope when a problem arises in or under water? Many scuba divers shun at the word Rescue Diver . Divers are reluctant to attend a PADI Rescue Diver thinking that they are not ready, it is a tough course, they are not good enough or rescue should be left only to scuba diving professionals. These are some of the many misconceptions of what PADI Rescue Diver is all about. The PADI Rescue Diver is not just about learning how to rescue other divers. It is also about learning how to avoid situations that a rescue scenario is needed.
Our PADI Rescue Diver course is specially designed to expose you to potential problems and scenarios that you may one day have to deal with. During the course, our team of dedicated Instructors will equip you with the specific skills and techniques you will need to be able to confidently and decisively manage the situation. Whether as a member of a team or as a buddy pair, by the end of this course you will be a better, safer and more able Underwater Adventurer Scuba Diver than ever before. The knowledge acquired during the course allows scuba divers to be more confident about themselves as divers, it allows them to enjoy scuba diving more because now, they are more situational aware of their environment knowing that they are in a better position to take care of themselves and their buddies.
So even though you have now learnt all the skills you need to be able to conduct your own dives and gained some extra experience along the way, you can always learn more. Dives are always easy and enjoyable when everything goes well and according to plan; but sometimes they don’t. So this is where you need to add a very special something to your tool box- The PADI Rescue Diver qualification.
PADI Rescue Diver consists of knowledge development, confined water training and open water evaluation. Candidates are evaluated based on realistic situations in the open water training to ensure that they are able to apply their knowledge from theory and practical sessions.
The PADI Rescue Divercourse is NOT ONLY ABOUT learning how to rescue another diver. It is also about self rescue and how to avoid accidents. The PADI Rescue Diver certification is a prerequisite for Master Scuba Diver Certification as well as for all Professional level PADI courses, beginning with the PADI Divemaster certification. This challenging and rewarding course will expand your knowledge and increase your experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers.
The PADI Rescue Diver is a perfect get together among dive buddies to further their diver training and education. Enroll into the PADI / SDI Rescue Diver and start becoming a better diver for yourself.
After graduation from your PADI Rescue Diver, continue your diving education with the choice to Specialise your Diving depending on your own personal interest.

The Knowledge Development Sections detail how to direct student divers in self-directed learning enhanced with instructor-led prescriptive knowledge development presentations. Each of the five Knowledge Development Presentations provides an outline with the session’s learning objectives and material for meeting those objectives. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they’ve ever taken. |
In rescue training sessions, student divers apply what they learn during knowledge development as they develop rescue related procedural and motor skills. The ten rescue training exercises outlined in these sections progress from simple rescue skills, such as diver tows, to more complex skills, such asresuscitating an unconscious diver in the water. The rescue training exercises first introduce the skills and various techniques to divers, then allow them to practice those techniques. During practice rescue scenarios, divers discover which techniques are appropriate in different situations. Remember, there is no single “right” way to perform a rescue. Divers continue to practise skills within each exercise rescue scenario until they have fulfilled performance requirements. |
The rescue skills learnt during the Rescue Training Sessions form the foundation for dive emergency management. The two dive accident scenarios in open water give student divers the opportunity to apply all these skills in a realistic context, providing them with added learning opportunities. The opportunity to apply their knowledge and rescue skills in the open water environment gives students a sense of accomplishment. By employing their knowledge and skill under conditions they are likely to dive in, students are more likely to reflect upon their previously learned rescue skills and will be encouraged to try different techniques when learning new rescue skills. |
