Challenging and rewarding best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they’ve ever taken.

As with all PADI courses, it is 'performance' based and involves knowledge development and 5 rescue training sessions (in pool, confined or open water, from shore or boat) plus 4 open water rescue scenarios. During these, you will cover:

Accident management

Distressed diver underwater

First aid for pressure related injuries and oxygen administration

Missing diver

Panicked diver

Preparation for emergencies

Responding to diver emergencies

Response at surface and exit

Response from shore or boat with both a responsive and unresponsive diver

Self-rescue

Surfacing the unresponsive diver

The psychology of rescue

Tired diver

Emergency First Response (EFR)

One of the foremost international CPR and First Aid training companies, the Emergency First Response Course gives you the confidence to respond to medical emergencies - not just in the diving world, but in your every day world with your family, friends, neighbours and co-workers too.

Emergency First Response gives you the skills you need to perform CPR and First Aid. Whether you're a diver or a non-diver, Emergency First Response helps you to properly handle potentially life-threatening situations. This comprehensive program contains 2 core modules that can be taught in tandem or as stand-alone courses: Emergency First Response - Primary Care and Emergency First Response - Secondary Care. Together, these courses provide extensive instruction in CPR and First Aid, as well as providing optional (yet recommended) Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and Emergency Oxygen sections.
