| The PADI Rescue diver course teaches you
the skills needed to respond to a diving emergency situation. Learning
how to observe and assist other divers in difficulty is an integral
part of the padi rescue diver course. |
| |
| The PADI rescue diver course is divided
into 3 sections |
|
|
| Knowledge development |
| Self rescue, diver stress, diving first aid, emergency
management and equipment considerations. |
| Confined water training |
| Deal with a panicked diver, methods of in water
resuscitation, equipment removal and transportation whilst resuscitating.
|
| Open water training |
| Practicing rescue skills in the open
water. For example: underwater search patterns and rescuing
an unconscious diver. |
|
 |
