Step 1: Sign up and complete the Rescue Diver E-Learning

After completing the Emergency First Response Course, it’s time to put your acquired first aid skills to use in scuba diving emergencies. The PADI Rescue Diver Course is designed to progressively develop your rescue skills and teach you how to respond effectively in various emergency situations. You’ll practice these skills and engage in rescue scenarios both on the surface, underwater, and on land.

To save time in Phuket, we recommend you to complete the E-learning at home before your trip. You sign up and after your first payment we will assign the E-learning pack for you with instructions. This must be completed before you start the course with your Dive Instructor.
