Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course is the most rewarding of all the non-professional dive courses SDC run. It is designed to develop your dive knowledge and skills to effectively perform diver rescues and assists, as well as teach you to manage diving accident situations and apply first aid skills. It is very much a “hands on” course, with role-playing to gain the experience needed for most dive incidents.

This course takes 3 days.

To complete the PADI Rescue Diver course you must also complete the Emergency First Response Course or have successfully completed a sanctioned course in CPR within the last 24 months.
