By completing the PADI Rescue Diver scuba certification course, you will learn how to manage different dive-related emergencies through a combination of dive theory, training exercises, and rescue scenarios. Dive theory comprises two academic sessions, coupled with independent study. We advise you to complete the requisite Knowledge Review questions before beginning the course.
Scuba diving in Lahaina provides the perfect setting to practice shore entries and exits. The ten in-water training exercises get practiced on the surface and underwater. You will practice this training repeatedly until you feel relaxed and confident with every rescue skill. Ultimately, each of the ten exercises gets evaluated during two rescue scenarios.
What to Expect for Your Rescue Course
Your instructor will structure your course and choose the best dive site based on ocean conditions. You will begin the morning at our headquarters in Lahaina where you will meet your instructor and talk about the day ahead. Your pre-rented equipment will be ready to go. Afterward, you will drive your rental car to the dive site and reconnect with your instructor there. Would you please let us know if you will not have a rental car? The usual meeting time is 8:30 am, and you can expect to finish each day at 4 pm.
PADI Rescue Diver is challenging, but at the same time, very rewarding because you immediately improve your scuba diving skills and general underwater awareness.
