Full Training Diary

Rescue Diver training is SERIOUS FUN but it is also hard work – everybody who takes the program comments how challenging and rewarding it was…

We teach you everything you need to know – but hope that you’ll never need to use it...

The course focuses on problem recognition and prevention, as well as handling the worst possible scenarios that can happen in a diving environment.

You’ll work with a senior instructor in the classroom 10am-3pm then the pool 4-7pm for skill development, then all day at the Lakes putting it all into practise on training scenarios which are challenging and FUN !

Over two Sundays you build the skills and confidence to handle diving emergencies such detailed below:

> Tired diver at the surface
> Diver panic at the surface
> Distressed diver underwater
> Emergency management
> Missing diver searches
> Response from boat/shore
> Surfacing the unconscious diver
> In water artificial ventilation
> Exiting the unconscious diver
> First Aid for pressure related injuries

These training sessions give you the opportunity to put your new skills into practice through realistic training emergency scenarios – providing the opportunity to get feedback on your performance and have a lot of fun too !

Knowledge development is through a combination of self-study, training videos and instructor presentations, with a multi-choice exam to assess your understanding.

An excellent course for anybody who dives regularly – and a must if you plan to dive without professional supervision.

Many people consider that training for recreational diving is not complete without passing the PADI Rescue Diver course.
