Rescue Diver<br />
“Challenging and rewarding” best describes the PADI Rescue Diver<br />
course. This course expands your knowledge and experience level: Rescue<br />
Divers learn to look beyond their buddy and consider the safety and<br />
well being of fellow divers. Although this course is challenging, it is a<br />
rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training prepares<br />
you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies.<br />
Many divers say this is the most valuable course they have ever taken.<br />
Emergency First Response ®<br />
Taken before your Rescue Diver course, you’ll learn<br />
to react to medical emergencies with confidence<br />
in the Emergency First Response Primary Care<br />
(CPR), Secondary Care (first aid) and/or Care for<br />
Children courses.<br />
