Become the buddy everyone wants to dive with
The PADI Rescue Diver course takes the focus away from learning basic diving skills and starts to train the diver in the prevention and scene management of dive incidents. Starting with skills in confined water, the diver then moves into open water and learns how to search for missing divers and how to recover an injured diver from the water.

What can I do next
Once you have completed the PADI Rescue Diver course, your have reached a competence level set by the health and safety council to dive independently with other Rescue divers. The next step is either to gain experience with more diving specialities to become a Master Scuba Diver, or maybe even go professional and undertake a Dive Master program.
