The Rescue Diver course is a prerequisite for all Professional level PADI
courses. The PADI Rescue Diver Course consists of five evenings of
classroom with five confined water training sessions.
You complete Knowledge Development on your own,
reading each of five sections of the PADI Rescue Diving Manual and watching the
corresponding section of the PADI Diver Video (which
also previews skills you’ll learn). You
