Home / 3. PADI Rescue Diver / PADI Rescue Diver
Your PADI Rescue Diver 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 and fun way to build your confidence.
Rescue diver training will prepare you to recognize or prevent
problems, and if necessary manage dive emergencies.
Minimum 2 people.
The course price includes all your Theory, Confined and Open Water instruction, manual, SCUBA unit, wetsuit, and certification fees
If you would prefer to do a private course with your own instructor we can design a customised training program to suit your schedule.
