First Aid/ CPR Course
A medic first aid certification is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to take a Rescue Diver Course, and we therefore offer a PADI Emergency First Response Course, which takes one day and will teach you how to give Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (heart massage and mouth-to-mouth), as well as basic first aid techniques.
Duration: 1 day
Academical topics:
• Primary care, secondary care, injury
assessment, illness assessment etc...
* Non diving course
Rescue Diver Course
Challenging and rewarding best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they’ve ever taken. You'll cover:
• Self-rescue and diver stress
• Emergency management and equipment
• Panicked diver response
• In-water rescue breathing protocols
• Egress (exits)
• Dive accident scenarios
Rescue Course Description:
3 days total:
1 day pool and theory
2 days boat/shore
Your first day will consist of pool and class work, equipping you with basic skills such as assisting a panicking diver, surfacing an unconscious diver, and out of air drills. In the classroom you will learn how to quickly identify stress in divers and how to minimise the risks associated with differing diving conditions. The second and third days are spent on the boat simulating emergencies, conducting searches, and learning how best to manage the human resources available, as well as learning how to administer oxygen, and in-water artificial ventilation techniques. Be prepared for unexpected rescue scenarios!
