PADI Rescue Diver

PADI Rescue Diver course is about preventing, recognizing and solving problems in the water - both on and under the surface. It is a challenging yet rewarding and fun course consisting of theory, pool sessions for rescue exercise training and complete open water scenarios.

Many divers say that PADI Rescue Diver course is the most challenging and rewarding diving course there is. On top of many other things, the students have learned to look beyond their buddies and considered the safety of other divers as well.

Emergency First Response course is open to everyone and it doesn’t require any previous diving experience, but it is a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver Course. It will teach you the essential lifesaving skills that are useful for everyone, not only divers and it provides internationally recognized training in Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid).

The PADI Rescue course takes 2-3 days to complete and as a prerequisite for the course you need to have a valid EFR (Emergency First Response) license or have a proof of CPR and First Aid training from any other internationally recognized organization.

The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches and prepares you to deal with dive emergencies by using different techniques.
