Project Description
RESCUE DIVER COURSE
Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed.
During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.

We understand that people may have busy schedules or want to spread the cost of the course over a few weeks or months.
As our aim is to help as many people as possible to become advanced divers who will in turn become advocates we created the Flexi Rescue Diver Course. This is the PADI Rescue Diver Course with all the same training standards and procedures. But we have created a tailored plan to help you spread the cost or spread it over a longer period if your timetable is busy.
We have separated the course into three distinct modules. This allows you to pay for each module as and when you are able. Don’t worry, the total payment plan price is the same as completing the course in one go. No hidden extras or additions. There is no credit charges as you just pay as you Go.
For example:
Make payment 1 – Complete the Theory section (Online or Classroom)
Make payment 2 – Confined Water training
Make payment 3 – Open Water training scenarios
Upon completion of your final scenario you will be certified and receive your prestigious PADI Rescue Diver certification card.
