PADI RESCUE DIVER
Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

COURSE STRUCTURE:
- ONLINE TRAINING
Online training or eLearning is known as the "knowledge development" portion of the PADI Rescue Diver Course. The online training consists of multiple sections, with a series of questions to be answered at the end of each section. It is designed so you can learn at your own pace and when it's convenient for you. Complete the academics online in preparation for your class & pool sessions.

During the classroom session, students review the information in the PADI Rescue Diver online eLearning training.

In the pool, students practice skills that will be used during the open water dives.
