PADI Rescue diver During the PADI Open water diver course and PADI Advanced open water diver course you focused primarily on yourself and mastered knowledge and skills for taking care of yourself during scuba diving activities. In the PADI Rescue diver course you're about to enter the next stage in which your focus shifts to the people around you. The PADI Rescue diver program prepares you to help prevent, and if necessary, manage dive emergencies, minor and major, with a variety of techniques. Your skills and confidence as a diver will be greatly enhanced. Most certified PADI Rescue divers look back on their rescue training as one of the most challenging - sometimes demanding - and therefore most rewarding programs. The subject is serious but the training is fun. The PADI Rescue Diver course is divided into knowledge development and open water training. The knowledge development portion develops the principles and information you need for preventing and handling dive emergencies, with topics including self rescue, diver stress, diving first aid, emergency management and rescue and assistance procedures for both conscious and unconscious victims on the surface and underwater. Knowledge development is usually handled through self study using the rescue diver manual and the PADI Rescue diver video and review sessions prior to open water training. At the end of the knowledge section there is also a final examination that will reinforce all of the topics learned within the course. All of the knowledge learnt in the academic section of the PADI Rescue diver course will prepare you mentally for the skills in the open water. During the confined water training your diving instructor will demonstrate all of the skills with the use of a PADI Divemaster or qualified assistant. Once all of the skills have been practiced over and over you are ready for the open water rescue scenarios - now this is where it all comes together and your rescue skills and knowledge are put to the test. To enroll in the PADI Rescue diver course you need to be certified as a PADI Advanced open water diver (or equivalent), be 12 years old and you must prior to the course successfully complete a sanctioned course in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR-Primary care) and basic first aid (Secondary care) within the past two years (24 months).
