The PADI Rescue Diver program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and delivery first aid. The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver. PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs. To get into the PADI Rescue Diver program, you'll need to be certified as an Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and must be at least 15 years old. If you are Junior Advanced Open Water Diver and 12 years old, you can enrol in the Junior Rescue Diver program. You'll also need to have successfully completed the PADI Emergency First Response or a sanctioned program in CPR within the past 24 months.
After successfully completing the program, you'll receive the internationally recognized PADI Rescue Diver certification card. Answer the call!
