Rescue Diver

The Rescue Diver program builds your confidence and competence as a recreational diver.

Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

Cancelation Policy – Course fees are due upon class enrollment to guarantee your space in the class.  Class fees are non-refundable within 14 days of the class start date and are non-transferable within 7 days of class start time.  Once PADI eLearning codes are assigned and redeemed (student account is created) these codes are non-refundable ($178ea).  One class date transfer is allowed for a fee of $90.  All course fees are forfeited if you do not attend.
