What you will learn in the PADI Rescue Diver Course:

​

Rescue from the shore or boat:

The most important thing when saving a victim is always that you do not endanger yourself. Therefore, you should always choose the safest method of rescue. Hence, we are practicing different situations here, how you can help someone from the shore or boat without putting yourself in danger.

Help on the surface:

Here we practice, among other things, how to approach a panicked diver on the surface or how to react to an unconscious person and how to start with first aid in the water. These exercises are a lot of fun and are also very important. Again, you should never put yourself in danger. But you will be amazed at how many methods there are to approach someone.

Help underwater:

How to find a missing diver? How do you bring an unconscious diver to the surface? Do you have to leave the patient's regulator in your mouth or take it out? We clarify all these and other questions here in these exercises.

First aid for diving accidents:

Diving accidents are very rare if you stick to what you have learned. But if it does happen, every second can be important. Therefore, we practice here how to properly notify the rescue service and how to provide first aid to a diver after a diving accident. You already know a lot from your EFR course which you did at the beginning of this course. Now we are going deeper into the topic of diving accidents.

Conclusion scenario:

At the end of this course, you have to go through a rescue scenario in order to put all that you have learned into practice. Your diving instructor will tell you exactly what you have to do. Remembering my personal course, these 4 days were some of the most exciting days in my life as a diver.
