Description
The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches you techniques to avoid and manage problems and improve your confidence as a diver.

During the course you'll become a better buddy by enhancing your ability to identify potential problems and by practicing dive emergency protocol. The subject is serious but the training is fun - many divers tell us the PADI Rescue Diver course was their favourite!

*This course fee only covers your online training, assessments and certification card.

Practical training fees, dives, dive equipment, student slate and logbook are available at additional fees via your PADI Dive Centre.
