Rescue Diver Course
Have you seen a video or witnessed first hand a diving accident? You want to help but you don’t have the skills and feel helpless. Then suddenly you realized you need to equip yourself with rescue diving skills to prevent future diving accidents from happening to you, your family, your buddy, and friends.
Here in Bahia Solano, we can help you achieve that with our PADI Rescue Diver certification course. Our PADI professional instructors here at Ankla Azul will help you prepare on how to deal and manage dive emergencies using a variety of rescue techniques.
Course Description
The PADI Rescue Diver course will primarily teach you how to prevent and avoid problems before it happens.
This course will start with knowledge developments by attending classroom lectures and discussing all the 5 knowledge segments. This will be followed by the confined water session wherein the 10 rescue exercises will be practiced and performed. At the end of this course, your skills will be put to the test by doing 2 rescue scenarios in the ocean.
As mentioned below in the requirements, EFR Primary and Secondary Care training (or qualifying training) within 24 months is a must. In case you do not have this certification or equivalent qualification, then we can arrange that for you by taking a separate course which is the Emergency First Response.
While we take the Rescue diver course seriously here in Bahia Solano, our PADI professional instructors will make sure that your rescue training will be fun, memorable, and valuable.
