Rescue diver Course
Scuba diving is a great passion. But it comes with some risks. If during the open water course and the Advanced Open Course, every diver is introduced to how to handle safety issues (mask skills, out of air scenario, emergency weight belt drop), it is often only a secondary focus at that stage. While you grow in dive experience, become more confident, take your safety seriously as well. With the PADI Rescue Diver Course, you will learn how to become pro-active about your own safety underwater, prevent accidents, but also, in the unfortunate case they would occur, know exactly what to do to avoid the worst case scenario. For you, and for your buddy. You will know how to handle emergencies, how and when to administer oxygen but most importantly you will learn to actually stop, think and analyse a problem before it turns into an emergency.

A rescue diver course takes a minimum of 3 days. If you have time, we may recommend 4 days, in order to be comfortable and not feel rushed in the learning process. That is especially if you need an EFR.
