Become a more confident dive buddy. The PADI Rescue Diver course develops the awareness, judgement and practical skills needed to prevent and manage diving emergencies.
Through role-play and realistic exercises, you learn self-rescue, stress recognition, equipment handling and responses for panicked or unresponsive divers. Training is progressive, focused and designed to build reliable muscle memory.
The programme can include Emergency First Response training covering primary and secondary care, CPR and related first-aid skills. DiveCampus pairs rigorous instruction with supportive coaching and no-rush training.
