PADI Rescue Diver Course $325 USD | Cabo San Lucas | Mexico

 

The Rescue Diver course may be the most challenging scuba diving course you have taken on yet. It is what we call ‘serious fun’, and we think you will be glad after the hard work that you have earned your Rescue Diver certification and enhanced your skills.

For many divers this is the beginning of a career as a Divemaster or PADI Scuba Instructor. As you learn to direct your attention to other divers and how to care for them when in need, you begin to take on the leader ship role as a Rescue Diver.

Rescue Diver Course Overview

 

With Sunshine Dive Charter the PADI eLearning Rescue Diver Course fee includes; confined water skill sessions, Open Water training scenarios, equipment rental and PADI certification fee. Plus a lot of challenging fun!

All Rescue Diver students enrolling in the PADI Rescue course are required to fill out the PADI Medical Statement. Please download and print out a copy. If you answer YES to any of the conditions you will need to see your doctor for clearance before we can begin your scuba training.

To enroll in the Rescue Diver course you must be at least 12 years old, be a certified Advanced Diver, have a current CPR and First Aid certification, have current diving skills and be reasonably fit. We typically conduct our Rescue courses over 3 to 4 days.

Rescue Diver Training Sessions | Rescue Scenarios

 

The Rescue Diver course training sessions include 10 in water training exercises that include skills like; responding from the shore, a boat or a dock, responsive and unresponsive divers and distressed divers on the surface and underwater.

Once you are comfortable with these skills you progress to the two final scenarios where you decide how to manage an accident and implement your skills in the open water environment. These are realistic scenarios where you will put your newly honed skills into a real world practice scenario.

 

EFR – Emergency First Response CPR First Aid Course $125

 

As having a current CPR and First Aid certification is a prerequisite for Rescue Diver training we offer the Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care courses to fulfill this requirement.

The EFR course curriculum includes several components:

  • CPR/Primary Care for any of adults/children/infants
  • First Aid/Secondary Care for any of adults/children/infants
  • Additional training with an AED
The standard EFR student program with the Sunshine Dive Charter includes CPR and First Aid for adults, with AED skills added. If you would like, we can expand your program to include training and certification through EFR in Care for Children and Infants as well.
 

Emergency Oxygen $125

 
If you are in the process of training to become a PADI Rescue Diver or will soon be beginning a Divemaster Internship, we strongly recommend adding the PADI/DAN Emergency Oxygen Course for more comprehensive training and certification. This  certification is highly sought after in the recreational dive industry workplace.

In addition to learning about constant flow delivery systems, the PADI Emergency Oxygen course includes demand valve and manually triggered ventilator delivery systems. You will also learn to handle multiple injured divers and multiple injuries simultaneously. This realistic training will increase your confidence to act in the face of a diving emergency situation.

Sunshine Dive Charter offers the most comprehensive PADI Rescue Diver Training Program in the Cabo San Lucas area. With the local reputation for being the leader in quality instruction for Divemasters and Instructors, you’ll be amazed at how much you learn and how much you enjoy being immersed in our Rescue Diver course.
