This course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification, if that’s your ultimate goal. PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to: Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet. Once you have completed your Scuba Diver Course with us, you also have the option to upgrade to an Open Water Diver! The cost to upgrade is 1100AED and includes certification as an Open Water Diver."

Ready to help yourself…..and others……….. Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning. You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills.It is recommended you finish all the theory before you come here to do your course. That way you can enjoy your evenings and relax. We run the PADI Rescue Diver Course whenever we have someone who is interested so just contact us with the dates that suit you best.
