Introduction

The PADI Rescue Diver course is one of the most rewarding and challenging courses in recreational diving. At Oxybulles Diving Rawai, we guide you through this essential step in your diving journey, giving you the skills and confidence to manage emergencies and assist other divers.

If the Open Water course teaches you how to dive and the Advanced course shows you where to dive, the Rescue Diver course teaches you how to take care of yourself and others underwater.
 

 

Why Take the Rescue Diver Course?


This program is more than just training – it’s a way to become a safer, more responsible diver. You will learn how to:

  • Recognize and prevent potential diving problems before they happen.

  • Assist a tired, panicked, or unconscious diver at the surface or underwater.

  • Organize rescue scenarios with calm and efficiency.

  • Strengthen your self-rescue skills to dive with more confidence.

Many divers say this is the most rewarding course they’ve ever taken, because it transforms the way you think about diving.
