Rescue Diver PADI

‘Challenge’ and “challenge” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building on what you've already learned, this course develops ways to prevent problems and how to handle them if they occur.

The fun part...

The fun part of this course is taking on challenges and mastering them. You will learn how to react to situations in the pool and in the sea. Most divers find this course as challenging as it is rewarding...
Your playground and learning experience will be the Caribbean Sea, with real life scenarios under the watchful eye of your PADI Instructor.

Become a conscientious and responsible referral diver, gain confidence and have fun.

• You will need 2/3 pool sessions in the morning.

• And between 4 and 6 dives in the afternoons.

Materials and equipment:

The PADI Rescue Diver E-Learning course will teach you to think like a rescue diver and give you the keys to start this course with your PADI Instructor. Learn the theory at home, ahead of time and at your own pace. This toolbox of knowledge and skills will give you the experience you need to respond to almost any emergency situation.

Scuba Equipment :
You will use all the basic scuba diving equipment, including a dive computer and rescue diver accessories such as pocket mask, signal whistle, etc.

Diving equipment hire is included in this course.

For reasons of comfort and hygiene, many people prefer to use their own equipment. If you want the peace of mind and comfort of your own equipment, we can help you. You can invest in your own mask, snorkel, fins and computer, as using these personal items is much more fun and interesting when they fit correctly and you become familiar with your equipment.
Also, for an extra $7, you can get a new mouthpiece for the regulator that you will use during the course, which you will then keep. One thing you might want to think about...
