RESCUE DIVER Prevent problems, and manage them if they occur.

The PADI Rescue Diver Course with Blue Water Divers

"Challenging" and "rewarding" best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you've already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.


The Fun Part

The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it's the best course they've ever taken. The PADI Rescue Diver course is the first step in expanding your knowledge and experience beyond a purely recreational level. It is the foundation for all leadership-level training: Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor and beyond.


What You Learn

  • Self-rescue
  • Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
  • Emergency management and equipment
  • Rescuing panicked divers
  • Rescuing unresponsive divers


The Scuba Gear You Use

You use all your basic scuba gear including a dive computer and accessories. Divers are also expected to furnish their own Knife, Sea Snips, Dive Light, and a Pocket Mask.


The Learning Materials You Need

The PADI Rescue Diver crewpak or eLearning includes all materials required to complete the PADI Rescue Diver knowledge portion. You'll learn how to think like a rescue diver and preview skills you'll practice with your PADI Instructor. This tool box of knowledge and technique will give you the expertise to handle almost any emergency situation.


Prerequisites

To enroll in the PADI Rescue Diver course, you must be:

  • 15 years or older
  • Have a PADI Adventure Diver certification (or have a qualifying certification from another organization)
  • Be trained and current for first aid and CPR within the previous two years (Ask your instructor about Emergency First Response CPR and first aid courses).

For all your learning materials and equipment, contact Blue Water Divers.


Your Next Adventure

After completing CPR and first aid and the PADI Rescue Diver course, you should take the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course Together, these three courses round out your ability to handle scuba diver emergencies.
