Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver Course provides the Advanced Open Water Diver with an opportunity to improve self rescue skills while also learning to safely assist other divers in distress. The course stresses personal safety and self-awareness while developing the ability to recognize and prevent many diving problems. This is one of the most fun and rewarding courses offered. The course can be completed at Dutch Springs or on any of our escorted group trips.


The course includes classroom, pool, and open water instruction by Blue Horizons PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer instructors.

 Course Outline
The course builds upon four themes as increasingly advanced scenarios are introduced–
  •  The Psychology of Rescue
  •  Being Prepared for a Diver Emergency
  •  Accident Management
  •   Responding to Diver Emergencies

The skills presented in the classroom and learned in the pool are put to use in ten rescue training exercises.
