Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course is one of the most rewarding and confidence-building programs in scuba training. It teaches you how to prevent problems before they happen, and how to manage real diving emergencies if they do. Through a combination of theory, skill development, and realistic rescue scenarios, you’ll learn to recognize stress, respond effectively, and support other divers both on the surface and underwater.

This course goes beyond personal diving skills—it prepares you to be a reliable and supportive dive buddy, able to handle a wide range of situations from minor issues to full rescue management. It’s a major step toward professional and technical diving, and a requirement for the Divemaster course.
