WHAT DOES THE PADI RESCUE DIVER ONLINE COVER?

The online sections mirror the material in the Rescue Diver manual and DVD.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM COMPLETING THIS COURSE?

The course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to prevent, and if necessary, manage dive emergencies. The course broadens a diver´s awareness and improves his/her skills and confidence. Most certified PADI Rescue Divers look back on their rescue training as one of the most challenging - sometimes demanding - and therefore most rewarding courses they´ve taken. The subject is serious but the training is fun.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

After enrolling, PADI´s eLearning system presents you with interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics and reading. The videos are actually integrated into the online programme which is a new feature of the online course. Five short quizzes let you check understanding of the presented information before moving on. This allows you to move through the programme efficiently and at your own pace. End of section exams verify your mastery of the entire topic and are automatically scored.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COURSE?

After completing the online portion of the PADI Rescue Diver course, you will need to visit a Dive centre or PADI Instructor to complete the training. You will be given a short eLearning quick review to confirm your understanding of the safety related material from the course. The, you will complete the inwater training portion of the course. The Instructor will cover ten rescue exercises and two Rescue scenarios in open water.
