Rescue Diver Course
|
| Up to this point your diver training
has focused on preventing problems and handling problems you might
experience yourself. |
| The next stage is broadening your
perspective and considering the needs of other divers - that's what
the PADI Rescue Diver course is all about. As a PADI Rescue Diver
you'll learn to prevent and manage problems, sharpen your observation
skills and help others avoid problems. |
| The Rescue Diver course is a crucial
step in your diving education and is highly recommended to all divers.
It's a transitional stage in your diving education where you move
beyond just diving for fun by expanding your knowledge of some of
the more technical aspects of diving as well as learning rescue and
emergency skills. Throughout this course you will come to appreciate
and understand the importance of this training relevant to diver safety
and incident minimization and management. |
| As a PADI Rescue Diver you'll learn
to prevent and manage problems, sharpen your observation skills and
help others avoid problems. |
| The PADI Rescue Diver course is divided
into three sections: Knowledge development, Skill development and
Practical application. |
| The duration of the PADI Rescue diver
course is over four or five days. |
| Prerequisite for this course is a
PADI Advanced Open water certificate or the equivalent certification
with another training agency. |
| If you are not a holder of a valid
First Aid (CPR) certification, the PADI Emergency First Response (EFR)
course will commence on day one of your itinerary. |
| If you haven't dived for a while
a Scuba Tune up or check out dive (to refresh your knowledge and skills)
may be required. No extra cost involve unless you request a separate
session prior to the trip. |
