The PADI Rescue Diver course is designed to develop your dive knowledge and skills to effectively perform diver rescues and assists, as well as teach you to manage diving accident situations and apply first aid skills.
It is very much a hands on course, with role-playing to gain the experience needed for most dive incidents.
