Challenging and rewarding. This is the best description for the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building on what you have already learned, further attention in this course is spent on what you already know about problem prevention and what to do if they occur.
Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and take the safety and comfort of other divers into consideration.
This training in rescue prepares you, to prevent problems and, when necessary, to act in an emergency using a variety of techniques.
The philosophy of the PADI Rescue Diver course is that there is rarely only one way to accomplish a task. There is no appropriate way to perform a rescue, there are always various options on which the diver, depending on the situation, can fall back. You learn to think about the options that are available to act in an emergency and then act with the best technique for a given situation first.
What you will learn
- Self rescue
- Recognize stress in other divers and deal with it
