Ask experienced divers, and they will often tell you the PADI Rescue Diver course was the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken.   

This course will change the way you dive—in the best possible way. You’ll learn to look beyond yourself and think like a rescue diver, gaining the confidence to identify and fix minor issues before they become big problems. Through a combination of self-study and hands-on skill practice, your PADI Instructor will teach you how to prevent and manage problems in the water, making you a safer, more capable, and more confident dive buddy.

While the subject is serious, the course is famous for being an incredibly fun and engaging experience.
