  Looking for a challenge? The PADI Rescue Diver course will challenge you both physically and mentally. The course focus is to teach students how to handle diving emergencies, and more importantly how to recognize and prevent problems BEFORE accidents happen. Like other PADI courses, this course is split up into three sections, knowledge development, confined water sessions, and open water sessions. The course requires a minimum of 3 days to complete, depending on the divers previous dive experience and skill level.
Knowledge Development
During your knowledge development sessions, your instructor will have you watch the PADI Rescue Diver DVD before going over several presentations with you. During each presentation your instructor will cover topics such as, The Psychology of Rescue, Accident Management, and Responding to Diver Emergencies. At the end of your knowledge development sessions your instructor will have you complete a final exam, to test that you have understood all of the various topics covered.
Confined Water Sessions
During these rescue-training sessions, you will apply what you have been studying as you develop and practice rescue skills in a swimming pool. Each rescue training exercise will start with your instructor introducing a new skill to you. After the instructor has demonstrated the skill to you, they will have you give it a go. Once your instructor is happy with your demonstration, you will start to integrate several of the skills together to simulate different situations and scenarios. This teaches you to think before you act, and to apply what you have learned to the variables of the situation, such as your physical attributes, the victim’s size, surrounding environmental conditions and so on.
Open Water Sessions
After completion of the confined water sessions, you will take the skills that you have learned and apply them to the open water environment. The instructor will have you participate in four rescue scenarios; each scenario will be made to be as realistic as possible, to test you both physically and mentally. After successful completion of these four scenarios, plus the completion of the other two section, you’ll have earned the PADI Rescue Diver certification.
Course Requirements
For participation in the PADI Rescue Diver course, a diver must hold a PADI Advanced Open Water certification (or equivalent certification from another training agency.) Each student must also complete a medical history form and liability releases, before starting the course.
 Students are provided with the PADI Rescue Diver Manual as part of their course price.
