Outline
The PADI Rescue Diver program is divided into knowledge development training, Rescue training sessions and rescue scenarios. The Knowledge development training is divided into 5 chapters which are covered by independently studying the PADI Rescue Diver Manual, and PADI Rescue Diver DVD. You develop the principles and information you need for preventing and handling dive emergencies, with topics covering the psychology of rescue, being prepared for an emergency, accident management and responding to diver emergencies. Your instructor will go over the knowledge reviews with you, discussing what’s been covered and helping to explain anything that’s been missed. A comprehensive final exam will test what you have learnt. You will also formulate an emergency action plan based on the facilities of your local environment.
After completing the knowledge development and rescue training session, you‘ll be ready for the Rescue Scenarios. These will cover an unresponsive diver underwater and at the surface. The scenarios take place over two open water
dives, at sites typical of the local dive environment. The situations will be as realistic as possible, meaning your reactions will also be realistic.
The Rescue Training sessions:
- Increase awareness of diver safety.
- Develop divers’ abilities to anticipate and prevent problems as well as to manage them.
- Teach effective rescue techniques and first aid skills specific to diving.
- Prepare divers to manage diver emergency situations.
- Expand diver knowledge in preparation for PADI leadership-level training.
