The NEW PADI Rescue Diver program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively
perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and render first aid.
The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver.
PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership
programs.
IDC's PADI Rescue Diver Course is for those who are 12 years and older, hold a valid
Emergency First Response or equivalent certification and are Advanced Open Water certified.
It is an important and crucial step in expanding a diver's knowledge and experience beyond a
purely recreational level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves to consider the
safety and well being of other divers. This is why the PADI Rescue Diver rating is a prerequisite
for all PADI leadership training and is a favourite among divers.
