PADI Rescue Diver
Price: €280*

This program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and administer first aid.
The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver. PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent) certification is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.
