From giving it a go at the local pool with a “Try Dive” course to receiving an internationally recognised Open Water Certification with PADI, we offer training for all comfort and ability levels.
This course is something special because it teaches you to become a safer diver and to focus on the safety and welfare of other divers. It shows you how to recognise and prevent a diving accident, and how to respond if one occurs. The course emphasises flexibility and adapting the diver to personal and environmental conditions. The student will receive a crew pack consisting of manual and dive incident management slate.
The Rescue course is a very rewarding and often tiring course. You have to have completed both open water and advanced courses to start the rescue course. The course covers the following,
