RESCUE DIVER Prevent problems and manage them if they occur.

The PADI Rescue Diver Course with DIVE WIMBLEDON

The PADI Rescue Diver course is one of the most popular and enjoyable courses we offer; the aim of the PADI Rescue Diver course is to make you a better and safer diver and buddy. The emphasis is on avoiding problems but we also practise the correct response to a variety of possible scuba diving emergency rescue scenarios.

We also offer the PADI Rescue Referral option with overseas completion where you can complete the theory and pool skills here in London and the open water scenarios on your own holiday abroad or on holiday with Dive Wimbledon.


Course Overview

  • PADI offers a variety of home-study materials for the PADI Rescue Diver course - Elearning or PADI Rescue Diver Manual. With the Elearning option you will complete more of the home study before the course and will spend less time in the classroom. 
  • Complete 10 scuba diving PADI rescue exercises in shallow water in London
  •  2 PADI Rescue Diver scenarios in Open Water near London
  • Small classes

Locations

  • We use several pools in Wandsworth, Kingston and Lambeth in South West London including Tooting Leisure Centre, Putney Leisure Centre, Streatham Leisure Centre, Southfields Community College and Wimbledon Lesiure Centre in London. The open water dives take place at Wraysbury Lake just outside London or on one of our overseas Egyptian holidays. In the summer months the whole course takes place at the lake over two days.


Completion

  • Certification as a PADI Rescue Diver
  • This certificationis valid for life but regular practise sessions are highly recommended to maintain your skills. You are welcome to join us on future PADI Rescue Diver courses as a way of maintaining your skills at no extra cost
  • Remember to complete an EFR course every two years to remain current


Your Next Adventure

After the PADI Rescue Diver course you might like to complete the first professional level of the PADI system of diver education, the PADI Divemaster course. 

Alternatively if you would like to go down the recreational dive route we offer a full range of PADI speciality courses through to the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.

It is also possible to complete your PADI Rescue Diver Course on one of our Dive Wimbledon Holidays.
