The course requires a minimum of 10-20 hours of self-study with PADI digital materials, followed by two intensive days of practical training. Participants must be at least 12 years old; those under 15 will receive Junior Rescue Diver certification, which automatically upgrades upon turning 15.

The local diving conditions offer an average sea temperature of around 20.8°C, providing a comfortable environment for practical sessions.

The course structure includes classroom sessions and open water exercises, simulating real emergencies to ensure thorough preparation. Dive&Dive provides all necessary equipment, along with expert instruction from qualified PADI professionals.
