​
The development of the PADI Rescue Diver course:
​
The first day of training includes pool and theory sessions, gaining basic knowledge such as dealing with a panicked diver, bringing an unconscious diver to the surface and the different techniques to react in low air situations. In the theoretical classes you learn to quickly identify stress situations and reduce the problems associated with the different conditions and factors of the dive.
The second and third days are spent on the ship or on shore; In search and rescue you learn how you can best use the available resources. We also teach how to provide oxygen and how to apply mouth-to-mouth breathing techniques in the water. Emergencies are simulated and conducted underwater. Keep your eyes open and be ready because your Instructor will stage unexpected rescue situations in which you will have to react.
