What to expect at your PADI Rescue Diver Course?

As you can probably guess, the PADI rescue course is a very physically demanding course. However, it will prepare you to handle a dive-related rescue situation appropriately.

The first part of the course is classroom work. During that time we will review your knowledge reviews and questions that you might have. Before moving to the practical part of the course we will make sure that we understand the concepts covered in the Resuce Manual.

The fun begins with the practical application of 10 different rescue skills and three different rescue scenarios. Your PADI Instructor is going to make sure that mastery is achieved.  After the candidate will demonstrate proficiency we will start putting what we learned into practice.

Your instructor will simulate several scenarios to test your knowledge and reaction. At the end of the weekend, you will become a safer diver and a valuable asset to the dive community.
