PADI Rescue Certification
Are you ready for a diving emergency? Would you be able to manage a problem or would you have to try and find someone else? Central Coast Dive Center’s Rescue course will teach you not only to recognize and handle a diving emergency when it occurs, but also to prevent potential diving accidents.
“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.
In the class, you will perform diver rescues and assist as well as administer first aid.
