PADI Rescue Diver Course content
The PADI Rescue Diver course is made up of three different sections which are: Theoretical, Pool Practices and Open Water Scenarios.
Theory
Once you reserve your space, we will send you a confirmation by email and the participant manual in digital format.
To complete this section, the student must read the course digital manual and carry out the different knowledge reviews.
Once this step is completed, the student must attend the theory class with the instructor.
The student’s progress will be carefully reviewed and the most important aspects will be reinforced.
Pool Practice
During pool practice, different scenarios are simulated and rescue exercises are practiced.
Open water scenarios: Once the knowledge has been acquired and put into practice in the pool, it is time to go to the sea and work on the resolution of different scenarios proposed by the instructor. At this point in the course the realism will be greater and more complicated maneuvers will be carried out, such as searching and recovering a diver underwater.
The PADI’s Rescue Diver course is one of the most fun, yet earning this certification requires hard work and a lot of attention to detail.
