PADI Rescue Diver
Continued Education
Become a better diver, become a better buddy.
The PADI Rescue Diver certification is one of the most challenging and rewarding continued education courses you can do. It will change the way you dive in the best possible way.
You will learn how to recognise signs of diver stress, prevent minor issues turning into an emergency, communicate with and assist a tired, panicking or unconscious diver at the surface and underwater, administer first aid and become familiar with emergency oxygen.
At Hydra Diving our rescue course is taught to a strict framework designed to organise your decision making process, so you react correctly to emergencies and are able to confidently prioritise what you need to do. We build muscle memory and good habits into your diving practices that will help you when task loaded and in a stressful environment.
You will be able to access the e-learning with any mobile device, tablet or laptop and complete the modules around your own day-to-day commitments.
