Course Description

“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.  This course is about is rising to challenges and mastering them.  You’ll learn about rescuing yourself and other divers, recognizing and managing stress in other divers, and emergency management and equipment.  Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.
