Detailed Course Structure:
Knowledge Development Sessions:
The PADI Rescue Diver Knowledge Development Sessions will be a combination of self and prescriptive learning.
Upon registration, you will receive the online knowledge review for self-study. It will take approximately 6 to 8 hours over one week of self-studying. You will have to complete all the knowledge reviews in the dive manual prior to the pool session with your instructor. You will watch the Rescue Diver DVD during the trip. Students are required to sit through a final exam to ensure 100% mastery and how and when to apply the knowledge learnt.
Skills Development Session:
The Skills Development Sessions will take place during the 2 days of diving over the weekends on a private yacht.
Open Water Evaluation:
This is the most important and exciting part of the Rescue Diver Course. After all the knowledge and skills development and students showing competency in them, the open water training serves as an evaluation where student divers can demonstrate mastery in the 12 required rescue exercises. These skills are further combined and executed to represent two open water simulated real life rescue scenarios.
