The PADI Rescue Diver course is frequently referred to as the most fun course on offer. It lasts three to four days and teaches you many new skills for keeping yourself and your buddy safe underwater. You’ll start off by practicing the self rescue and out-of-air skills you learnt on your Open Water course but will soon move onto new things, and will finish with a full scenario where a diver will go missing and you will be entirely responsible for coordinating his rescue. You assign tasks to people to help with the rescue, arrange emergency services and then lead the search yourself. When you find the injured diver you will rescue him, get him back to the boat and generally save the day! Sounds a bit daunting? By the time you get to this scenario your rescue skills will be sharp and you will know exactly what to do. This is the aim, to ensure you are a safe, responsible diver who can be relied on in an emergency. |
