PADI
Diver Rescue Course
Up
to this point your diver training has focused on preventing
problems and handling problems you might experience
yourself. The next stage is broadening your perspective
and considering the needs of other divers - that's what the
PADI Rescue Diver course is all about.
As
a PADI Rescue Diver you'll learn to prevent and manage
problems, sharpen your observation skills and
help others avoid problems.
The
PADI Rescue Diver course is divided into three sections: Knowledge
development, Skill development and Practical
application.
All
three sections will be completed under the professional supervision
and guidance of your Deep Sea Divers Den PADI instructor.
All open water training takes place on the Outer Great
Barrier Reef.
The
duration of the PADI Rescue diver course is over five
days. If you are not a holder of a valid First Aid
(CPR) certification, the PADI Emergency First Response
(EFR) course will commence on day one of your
itinerary.
