The PADI Rescue Diver course philosophy focuses on the concept that there is rarely only one way to accomplish a task. There is no single “right” way to perform a rescue, but rather there are many variables and resources that rescuers consider and draw upon, depending upon the scenario.

The course takes a flexible, conceptual approach to rescue — a rescuer’s relative size and strength, for example, as well as environmental factors, may dictate or influence what rescue technique will be most effective.

The Rescue Diver Course training sessions develop students’ foundational skills, which they adapt to their personal differences and needs. Skill development encourages divers to experiment, learning to capitalize on their strengths, recognize their limitations and consider these in emergency situations. Student divers learn to first think about the options available for handling an emergency, and then act using their appraisal of the best method for the situation.

Course Goals

The PADI Rescue Diver course goals are to:

  • Increase awareness of diver safety.
  • Develop divers’ abilities to anticipate and prevent problems as well as to manage them.
  • Teach effective rescue techniques and first aid skills specific to diving.
  • Prepare divers to manage diver emergency situations.
  • Expand diver knowledge in preparation for PADI leadership-level training.
Why PADI Rescue Diver?

Rewarding and fun – that best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level: Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.

The course consists of classroom sessions, twelve realistic open water training scenarios and an exam.

What an amazing experience! I recently completed my Open Water course with Pisces, and honestly, what an awesome experience from start to finish! A special shoutout to Shaun, my instructor, who was absolutely brilliant! So patient, knowledgeable and easy to chat to, with such a calm and relaxed approach to teaching. He made the whole experience so enjoyable and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor! A massive thank you to the rest of the Pisces staff and crew as well. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the whole experience was really well organised. Such a great bunch of people who clearly love what they do! I've walked away with my Open Water certification, some amazing memories and an even bigger love for diving! Thanks again to the entire Pisces team! You guys are absolute legends! 😊 Would highly recommend Pisces to anyone looking to get into diving!

I've done my AOWD with them and I couldn't be happier. When diving with them you can feel the profesionalism, the friendliness and joy of doing they job. I would recomend them any time, both for training or just a dive experience. I hope I'll be back to CT and dive again with them. So happy of my experience with them

Visiting Cape Town on business gave me the opportunity to catch a dive while in town. Although there were a few quality dive stores, this one was outstanding in their communication. As a result, I booked my dive and was very pleased. The store, staff, and ambiance was second to none! As I enjoyed the 2 dives, I would recommend them for anyone else seeking a great experience.

Really professional and experienced dive centre, with great kit for the cold water. We really enjoyed diving with them, and would definitely do so again, without thinking twice. Great knowledge of the local fish and plant life and it was nice having the time at the end of the dive to go through what we saw. Highly recommend!

Enrolling in the 1 year Career Development Programme at Pisces Divers has been a truly transformative experience, that has turned my quiet, unsure matriculant into a passionate diver with professional skills. My son didn't just learn to dive; he mastered becoming a valuable asset to a hands-on, thriving business. The mentorship from Koen's experienced team fostered a very supportive community that built immense confidence in a teen needing direction and purpose. Thank you Koen and Team Pisces 👏👏👏👏👏 #proudmum #best11months

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Besuch und können diese Tauchschule wirklich von Herzen empfehlen! 🤿💙 Man fühlt sich hier als Kunde sofort willkommen und merkt, dass sich für jeden einzelnen Gast wirklich Zeit genommen wird. Die Beratung ist persönlich, kompetent und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Besonders begeistert waren wir von der perfekten Maskenberatung. Mein Mann hatte bisher immer Probleme, eine wirklich passende Maske zu finden. Hier wurde sich extra viel Zeit genommen und so lange ausprobiert und beraten, bis die perfekte Maske gefunden war. 🙌 Auch die deutsche Mitarbeiterin aus Augsburg können wir absolut empfehlen – super freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit!
