PADI Rescue Diver

$303.00

Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

Gain confidence and life-saving skills with the PADI Rescue Diver Course at Underwater Vision

"Challenging", "rewarding" and "useful", are the words students are frequently using to best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course at Underwater Vision.

Building upon what you’ve already learned in your PADI Open Water Diver course and Emergency First Response course this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.

The PADI Rescue Diver Course is a prerequisite for the PADI Divemaster which is the next level of dive training taking you into the realm of PADI Professional Diving and it can be done at Underwater Vision in Utila!
 
Throughout the PADI Rescue Diver Course, you will work closely with our highly trained and experienced instructors to calmly handle simulated dive emergencies in, out and under the water! 
 
By the completion of the PADI Rescue Diver Course, you will have perfected your self-rescue skills, stress management skills (yourself and other divers), emergency management, rescuing panicked divers and rescuing unresponsive divers among others

The Prerequisites For This Course

In order to begin the PADI Rescue Diver Course, you must have completed a recognized First Aid/CPR course from an acceptable and recognized agency within the last two years, or completed the Emergency First Response, which is available at Underwater Vision and can be taken in conjunction with the Rescue Diver Course!

What will you learn?

Being able to handle any scuba diving emergency that may potentially occur will make you a more confident diver, but also make you extremely important and useful to have on any dive or dive boat, whether in Utila or elsewhere!
