Curso PADI Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course at Dive Academy is the level most experienced divers cite as the one that changed how they think underwater. It shifts focus from your own dive to managing the safety of others — a significant gear-change after the skills-based progression of Open Water and Advanced.

Training covers self-rescue, recognising and managing diver stress, emergency management at the surface and underwater, and coordinating responses to dive accidents. Scenarios are run in real conditions in the Mediterranean, not just in a pool.

The Rescue course is also the prerequisite for the Divemaster programme if you're heading toward a professional certification. At 440 € it sits at the same price as the Open Water course, reflecting the complexity and scenario-based nature of the training.

Dive Academy's status as a PADI 5-Star IDC centre means the instructors running this course are trained to instructor-trainer standards, which adds weight to the certification you receive.
