Rescue Diver Course

Become a complete diver

The PADI Rescue Diver Course develops your knowledge and skills so that you will become a complete diver - someone who can look after themselves as well as others in the water by effectively performing diver assists and rescues, managing diving accident situations and giving first aid.

The course is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver, and we think that every diver should get to the level of Rescue Diver as it makes you completely self-sufficient in terms of rescuing yourself and other divers.

PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI Divemaster and Instructor programs.

Rescue Course contents

The PADI Rescue Diver course is a 4/5 day course, and we normally include a couple of fun dives for free as part of the course.

There are 10 x in-water exercises and 4 x open water rescue scenarios, and there is a manual to read with a final exam. Unlike the other PADI courses, the chapters are linked with the exercises/scenarios, therefore the reading and exercises/scenarios need to be done in a certain order.

Do the course with fun diving in either Bunaken or Lembeh

We have developed a new rescue Course package that is run over 5 days, this is the fastest time that we can run the course with the quality that we want to offer. The package also includes 4 x fun dives, and we are offering a special price of EUR18/dive (normal price EUR22.50) for any extra fun diving that you do during these 5 days!

The 5-day schedule would be:

Day 1

Special offer! - special price of €18/dive (normal price €22.50) for any extra fun diving that you do during these 5 days!

Pre-requisite for the Rescue Diver course

You need to be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent, and have completed a first aid course within the last two years. The first aid course can be the PADI EFR, or another course that includes CPR and AV techniques.

We can run the PADI EFR course for you at the start of your course if this is needed, it is a 1-day non-diving course so it is easy to schedule with your Rescue Diver course.

Rescue Diver and the Master Scuba Diver (MSD) rating

The MSD rating is the highest PADI non-professional rating for scuba divers. For those who want to go into the dive business to work then the divemaster course should be the first level to aim for. However, for those who just want to have fun and want to extend their knowledge and experience in their hobby, then the MSD is the level to aim for.
