More than just Diving …
“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur. The skills you learn in this course helps you to build confidence and prepare for possible diving emergencies.
The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. You will learn how to react to scenarios in the pool and in the sea. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding…and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken…
Your playground and learning experience will be the 2nd great reef barrier, with real life scenarios under the watchful eye of your PADI Instructor.
Become a reference diver, conscious and responsible, gain confidence and have fun !

Materials
The PADI Rescue Diver E-Learning course will teach you how to think like a rescue diver and give you the keys to start that course with your PADI instructor. Learn the theory at home, ahead of time and at your own pace. This toolbox of knowledge and techniques will give you the experience to respond to almost any emergency situation.
You will use all your basic diving equipment completely, including mask, fins, reg, BCD, a computer and diving accessories worthy of a rescue diver such as the “pocket mask”, the signal whistle etc…
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 can invest in your own mask, snorkel, fins, and computer, as these personal items are much more fun and interesting to use when they fit properly and you get to know your equipment.
Also for an additional $7 USD, you can get a new mouthpiece for the regulator you will be using during the course, which you will then keep. One thing you might want to think about…
