PADI Rescue Diver Course

PADI Rescue Diver Course

Our PADI Rescue Diver Course can be conducted over 2 days. During this time you will learn a number of new skills and complete your academics at our island based PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre. Once your PADI Instructor has taught you the various skills you will perform them during a number of controlled rescue scenarios.

Our island based location is the perfect venue for such a course. Providing a number of entry/exit points to the water plus confined & open water sites practice. Between sessions you will return to our  dive centre for refreshments.

If you are not already an Emergency First Responder or equivalent, you will also need to complete this course by adding another day making the entire course duration 3 days. The Emergency First Response Course will be conducted at the dive centre too, coinciding into the 3 day program.

Course Objectives

• To provide students with the basic knowledge and skills of First Aid rescue skill procedures.
• To provide student divers with the knowledge on how to anticipate, prevent and manage potential dive accidents.
• To prepare the student diver to perform a search pattern using proper search techniques.
• To handle an accident while waiting for emergency medical care.

Course Outlines

• Self-rescue and diver stress.
• Emergency management and equipment.
• Panicked diver response.
• In-water rescue breathing protocols.
• Egress (exits).

Our learning approach is through practical sessions with discussions, and small group activities using audiovisual materials. Knowledge mastery is assessed using Knowledge Reviews, Quizzes and Final Exam with minimum score of 75%. Skills mastery is assessed by student demonstration of skill proficiency and competency in water.

Junior PADI Rescue Diver Course

The junior rescue diver course involves exactly the same training. At the age of 15 years the certification can be upgraded at no extra cost.

Your Safety is Our Priority!

At all times you are in safe hands. We pride ourselves on small group instruction ensuring our clients get the very best of attention from the instructor. Safety is paramount, we adhere to PADI standards and procedures and HSE Guidelines. Our boats are equipped with marine radio, GPS & First Aid kits and our qualified snorkel guides always bring a life ring with them. All our guides are trained in Emergency First Response.

Flying & Climbing After Diving According to our current PADI Flying After Diving guidelines – it is highly advised you should not go to altitude (this includes flying and climbing) within 18 hours when doing multiple dives. This means that the day after your diving program you can take a flight after 0930hrs in the morning. Or you can choose to not take part in the afternoon dive and therefore take a flight after 0600hrs in the morning the following day. Please note that since all our courses/programs last a full day there will be no refund offered for missed dives since you have the option to stay on the island or enjoy snorkelling and trekking activities.
