Padi Rescue Dive Certification: Accomplish While on Your Caribbean Vacation!

While on vacation, we offer several dive courses and certifications. If you have your Advanced Certification, we can certify you as a Padi Rescue Diver during the course of one week. This is a little more demanding then previous courses as you will be learning rescue and live saving skills. It is well worth it to achieve this certification, and definitely very hard to find the time during your "real world" daily and weekly routines. Beware, if you take the course, and happen to be invited on one of FiFi's group dives-- then all of a sudden FiFi is lying face down in the bottom sand at 70 feet deep and you are looking at him thinking he is examining some micro-organism in the sand??? No, this is your call to action! With a split second thought you must ascend him safely to the surface- good luck!

Why PADI Rescue Diver? The PADI Rescue Diver will expand your knowledge and experience beyond purely recreational level because you'll learn to look beyond yourself and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.

What do I need to start?
1) PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
2) Minimum age: 15 years old (12 for PADI Junior Rescue Diver)
