Course Overview
What You Will Learn
The PADI Rescue Diver course is widely considered the most rewarding course in recreational scuba diving. It shifts your focus from your own dive to the full picture: your buddy, your environment, and the situations that can develop underwater when things do not go according to plan. Students consistently describe it as the course that made them a fundamentally better diver.
At DWM, Rescue Diver training begins with Emergency First Response, a surface-level first aid and CPR certification that is a prerequisite for Rescue Diver and a genuinely useful skill in everyday life. EFR is completed in 1-2 session(s) before moving into the rescue skills and scenario training that make up the Rescue Diver course itself.
Sessions run in Batam across weekday evenings and weekends. Rescue scenarios are practised in both confined and open water conditions. By the end of the course, you will be able to recognise and respond to tired divers, panicked divers, unresponsive divers at the surface, and missing diver situations and you will have the EFR certification to manage medical emergencies on land as well.
