How do you take a subject like accident prevention and management
and turn it into fun? Call it the PADI Rescue Diver program!
The PADI Rescue Diver program develops your knowledge and skills
so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage
diving accident situations and render first aid. The program is
an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as
a diver. PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also
a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.
To get into the Rescue Diver program, you'll need to be certified
as a PADI Advanced Open
Water Diver and must be at least 15 years old. The PADI Junior
Rescue Diver program is available if you're between the ages of
12 and 14 and hold a PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent)
rating.
You'll also need to have successfully completed the EMERGENCY FIRST
RESPONSE® FIRST AID program or a sanctioned program in CPR within
the past three years. The PADI Rescue Diver program covers:
- self-rescue and diver stress
