The PADI Rescue Diver program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and render first aid. The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver. PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.

You’ll also need to have successfully completed the PADI MEDIC FIRST AID® program or a sanctioned program in First Aid within the past 12 months (we conduct 1st Aid & O2 courses regularly). You will also need to supply a resuscitation face mask (available for purchase).
