The PADI Rescue Diver course is a pivotal step in expanding a diver's knowledge and experience. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves to consider the safety and well-being of other divers. Rescue Diver training expands the basic problem prevention and accident management skills student divers learn in the Open Water Diver course. At the Rescue Diver level, students are ready to learn to manage more complex dive emergencies and to apply direct intervention techniques to assist others in an emergency.
PADI Rescue Diver course goals are to:
Increase awareness of diver safety.
Develop diver's abilities to anticipate and prevent problems as well as to manage them.
Teach effective rescue techniques and first aid skills specific to scuba diving.
Prepare divers to manage diver emergency situations.
Expand diver knowledge in preparation for PADI leadership-level training.
