Rescue Diver

Many people claim to be the most challenging course, this is because the PADI Rescue Diver course provides through simulations real rescue situations that can happen in and out of water. You will learn how to proceed in emergencies and the protocols to be followed from the initial approach to the arrival of the emergency medical system. Learn to prevent and manage problems.​
