Because a large part of the content requires the students to have some primary and secondary first aid ability, you will need to have this previously completed, or complete the PADI Emergency First Response course. You can also start the course with an equivalent to the EFR, which is a CPR Standard First AID course completed within the last 2 years. (Please have proof of this!) The Rescue Diver course is split over four days and is divided into three distinct and challenging sections: Knowledge development, skill development and open water scenarios.

Knowledge Development is crucial theory work, ensuring that the student understands all that is required and expected of a Rescue Diver. This covers topics such as self-rescue, panicked diver, unconscious divers, Decompression Illness and oxygen usage to mention just a few.

Skill Development is normally a two day event as there are many skills to learn and develop to a very high standard. Here at the Bay Islands College of Diving we would normally conduct the skills primarily in the on-site pool or our pier, allowing lots of time to practice each of the techniques. The second day you will be taken in to open water to repeat and learn some more exercises.

Open Water scenarios are to demonstrate mastery of a complete rescue, through to oxygen administration in the open water off the boat!
