“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 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.

Detailed Course Structure:
Knowledge Development Sessions:
The 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 trip. 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 Session will take place during the 2 days of diving on a private yacht over the weekends.
Open Water Evaluation:
This is the most important and exciting part of the 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.
