PADI Diver Rescue Course

Courses Start Every Thursday.

 

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 PADI Rescue Diver course is divided into three sections: Knowledge development, Skill development and Practical application.

All three sections will be completed under the professional supervision and guidance of your Deep Sea Divers Den PADI Instructor. All open water training takes place on the Outer Great Barrier Reef.

The duration of the PADI Rescue diver course is over four or five days. 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.
