Product Description
The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches you techniques to avoid and manage problems and improve your confidence as a diver. During the course you’ll become a better buddy by enhancing your ability to identify potential problems and by practicing dive emergency protocol. The subject is serious but the training is fun – many divers tell us the PADI Rescue Diver course was their favorite! *This course fee only covers your practical in water training sessions, Rescue Manual, equipment rental (with that option) and certification fee. Online elearning theory training, logbooks, rescue slates and CPR/Oxygen delivery certification are extra. Please note, you may need to complete the CPR/Oxygen delivery component elsewhere at any nationally accredited CPR/Oxygen delivery certification facility.
A standard PADI Rescue course with Expedition Dive progresses as follows:
1. Student signs up online and choses 2 dates to start, we’ll confirm one. (Birthdates, separate emails and names of all divers required)
2. Unless elearning dive theory is opted for the additional fee, the PADI rescue manual will be given to all participants the day of in water practical sessions. Knowledge review and open book rescue diver exam (emailed) to be done after in water practical sessions.
3. Copies of a certificate of completed CPR/Oxygen delivery, completed rescue manual knowledge reviews at the end of each chapter and rescue diver multiple choice exam to be emailed to instructor and checked prior to receiving certification.
