Rescue Diver Course
Enrollment Information

Academic Requirements:
The Rescue Diver Course begins with self study of the PADI Rescue Diver manual. As you complete each chapter of the text you will fax or email the chapter reviews to your tutor for review and critique. The material will then be returned to you prior to your water training sessions. During the water training sessions your instructor will again review the material. Finally, you will complete written examination necessary for certification.

Dive Requirements:
The Rescue Diver Course consists of two days of water training at a popular, recreational dive site. During the training you will be exposed to a variety of realistic problem situations.
If you are not current in CPR the PADI Medic First Aid Course can be completed during the program and will meet the requirement for certification. An additional fee of $55 for CPR certification would apply.
