PADI Rescue Diver

Why PADI Rescue Diver?

Rewarding and fun – that best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level: Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.

What do I need to start?

Be at least 15 years old (12 for Junior Rescue Diver)
Be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or have a qualifying certification from another training organization.
Successful completion of a sanctioned CPR program within the past 24 months. The Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) courses meet these requirements.

What will I do?
Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. During the five open water sessions, you'll cover:

Self-rescue and diver stress
AED and emergency oxygen delivery systems
dive first aid
swimming and non-swimming rescue techniques
emergency management and equipment
panicked diver response
underwater problems
missing diver procedures
surfacing the unconscious diver
in-water rescue breathing protocols
egress (exits)
first aid procedures for pressure related accidents
dive accident scenarios

How long will it take?

After completing the required reading and knowledge reviews required for this course, there is a classroom, which takes approximately 4 hours, and then a scheduled pool time, approximately four hours, then it is off to the open water for the final phase of your training, where you will demonstrate proficiency in all techniques you have learned. This is covered over 5 dives, on two separate days. PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

How much does it cost?

The course fee for this is $225.00 each.

Cost includes: Crew pack, certification card, wall diploma, tanks, and weights. All classroom and water work.

Not included: Personal dive gear, (can be rented) food, lodging, travel to and from dive site, parks passes, or applicable permits.
