Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course at AlisioSub runs 3–5 days and covers problem prevention and emergency management in diving. The program trains participants to recognize stress and warning signs in other divers, respond to panicked or unresponsive divers at the surface and underwater, and manage a diving emergency from start to finish. It is one of the courses the center specifically highlights as both challenging and rewarding.

The practical open water sessions take place in Lanzarote waters, putting the rescue scenarios in a real sea environment — not a controlled pool setting. The combination of shore and boat dive access from Puerto del Carmen means the exercises cover realistic conditions for the range of scenarios the course addresses.

Prerequisites are an Advanced Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent) with a minimum of 20 logged dives, plus an Emergency First Response course or a current CPR and primary care first aid qualification from the last two years. Minimum age is 12.

The package includes study materials, course-specific equipment, instructor time, open water practice sessions, and PADI certification processing.
