PADI Rescue Diver TrainingChallenging and rewarding best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they’ve ever
The best Rescue Divers not only know how to deal with emergency situations, but how to anticipate and prevent them. Prevention is key. Skills that will be covered during your training: self-rescue, assisting tired divers, panicked divers, dealing with distressed divers underwater, surfacing unconscious divers, search for missing divers, egress with divers in need.
According to the most recent DAN report dive fatalities were down from previous years. Hopefully it is because of diver readiness rather than lack of divers. :)
