Scuba Diving Course - PADI Rescue Diver + EFR

This certification is the perfect combination for those who don't want to see diving just as a recreational hobby but want to be able to solve any problems that can happen or be the first to respond in case of an emergency. We at Blue Water Diving will help you improve your skills in a serious but yet playful way so you can help other divers in need of assistance. If you want to become a professional diver, this certification is essential. Take advantage of the beautiful scenery of the Canary Islands to take a course that can save lives!

Goal of the course
The PADI Rescue Diver will train you on how to respond in emergency situations while making you a better diver. It will allow you to consider safety while diving with a fresh eye and will help you build your confidence. You can also choose to do Emergency First Response (EFR) certification along with the PADI course. It is particularly indicated if you haven't completed a CPR program in the past 24 months, as it is a requisite. The EFR certification will give you a basic knowledge of CPR (Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and first aid that you can apply in your everyday life and not just while diving. You will learn to asses a wide range of injuries as well as try your hand at bandaging or splinting.

Meeting & Preparation
We meet you directly at our base in the Holiday Club hotel at the agreed time. If you need a pick-up from your hotel, we can arrange it after the booking. There, you will meet your instructor, fill out all the necessary forms and then be provided with your equipment. You can use our facilities on site (changing room, toilets).
