More than just Diving …
“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course.

The skills you learn in this course helps you to build confidence and prepare for possible diving emergencies.

Scuba Gear :
You will use all your basic diving equipment complete, 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…
