The PADI Rescue Diver course, a prerequisite to entering the professional level, is designed to develop leadership skills and turn a diver's focus from himself to other divers. Rescue training expands your knowledge of diving, increases your level of diving skills, and makes you more aware of what is happening around you in the diving environment. Most importantly, rescue training can help you save lives and increase diving safety by preparing you to respond properly to diving emergencies or near-emergencies. Become the best buddy you can, by earning the PADI Rescue Diver certification. In this course you will work, but the rewards are well worth it.
