PADI Rescue Diver Course
Description
| The rescue diver course introduces students to techniques including self-rescue/self-sufficiency and established diver rescue procedures. This course is highly recommended for all divers, and is required in order to continue through professional and master SCUBA diver ratings. A seriously fun course. |
| Junior Level - age 12 or above. Standard Level - age 15 or above. |
Prerequisite:
| Age requirement and medical evaluation (a physician's medical for diving fitness may be required depending on your medical history). Paperwork can be completed in advance or at course registration. PADI junior or standard advanced open water diver certification, or an equivalent rating is required for this course. |
| A Learning agreement must be reviewed and signed in addition to course paperwork. Once registered, any session the student misses must be made up at an extra charge or during the next regular course schedule, or forfeit remaining course fees. |
Course outline:
| Course includes all materials. It is recommended, but not required, that students own all of their own equipment, as familiarity with personal gear improves general diving skills. In addition to SCUBA equipment a knife, depth gauge, compass, timing device, tables and whistle/surface signaling device are all required for this course. |
| Junior diver ratings can be upgraded after the diver's 15th birthday by paying a registration fee and processing a new card, or by taking the next course and automatically upgrading with the new certification. Some depth and supervision limitations apply to Junior diver ratings. |
| Rescue diver certification covers academic sessions (rescue diver manual, knowledge reviews and final exam) and twelve in-water rescue scenarios, proceeding from basic tired diver procedures through detailed missing-diver recovery and first aid procedures. Emergency first response course, or equivalent including basic first aid and CPR techniques is an exit requirement for this course; training must be current (within two years). This certification is valid for life; however, it is recommended that you keep your diving skills up to date if you're not able to dive often. Ask your instructor about refresher sessions or SCUBA tune-ups! |
What's next...dare to be challenged!
| Divemaster is your first step as a PADI professional. You will learn how to work with student divers, refine your water skills to a demonstration level and learn more about diving physics and physiology to name but a few. These slikks you learn on this course are essential life long skills. |
| You will work with "open water" students, "advanced" students and divers of all levels, to give you experience in handling people and situations as they arise. |
| As a Divemaster you can teach "discover scuba diving" in a swimming pool, conduct "discover local diving", conduct "discover snorkeling program" and do the "scuba review" with qualified divers. You will be the Instructor's right hand during training dives. |
