PADI Rescue Diver

Use the skills you acquired in previous courses and make yourself available to those in need of assistance at sea. Learn how to manage critical situations in and out of the water.

The Rescue Diver course, despite not yet being part of the diving professional courses, is a necessary step in that direction.

After having studied and learned the theoretical concepts on the PADI e-learning platform, in this course you will learn to put the famous phrase "Stop - Think - Act" into practice. The situations we will simulate will be those of diver discomfort, in and out of the water. You will learn how is best to handle situations of diver fatigue, breathlessness, panic or unconsciousness, remembering to always put your safety first before offering your help.

By the end of the PADI Rescue Diver course you will be able to face diver distress situations with a consolidated awareness and self-confidence.
