Description

Rescue Diver changes how you think about scuba diving

Until now, you have been learning about improving your personal dive skills. As a Rescue Diver, you start to look beyond yourself and consider the many other things that affect the safety of the dive for you and your dive buddies. You learn how to prevent and, if necessary, manage a diving accident.

Rescue Diver Course content

Like any emergency training, PADI Rescue Diver begins with prevention: how to judge all of the factors surrounding the dive and prevent problems.

Accidents do happen though. And the PADI Rescue Diver course will prepare you to manage diving emergencies, in case you ever need to. You’ll cover:

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

Rescue scenarios are key. They help you develop a routine, which is important in a high stress emergency situation. In Dahab, you will find many professional divers participating in rescue scenarios – they know that practice and a good emergency routine build the confidence required to manage a dive emergency.

What’s included

  • 3 day PADI Rescue Diver course
  • PADI eLearning manual included
  • Optional upgrade to PADI eLearning or Touch manual, with integrated video and interactive quizzes
  • Full equipment rental

Pre-requisites

To enroll in Rescue Diver, you must have:
