Private PADI Dive Courses with Chris

Duration: 3 days

Rescue Diver Course: Accidents happen. There are several good reasons to become a PADI Rescue Diver. Rescue training expands your knowledge of diving, increases your level of diving skill, and makes you more aware of what is happening around you in the diving environment. Rescue Diver certification is also an important prerequisite for the PADI Divemaster rating and the distinguished PADI Master Scuba Diver certification. Most importantly, rescue training can help you recognize and respond properly to potential diving emergencies in the very unlikely event that they should occur. Rescue Divers will also need to be trained in First Aid and CPR for which the PADI Emergency First Response Course is designed.
