The PADI Rescue Diver program makes the subject of accident prevention not only fun but extremely rewarding! Until now the emphasis of your training has been on basic accident prevention and safe diving.  The PADI Rescue Dive program takes you to the next level, expanding this to include accident management and rescue techniques.  During the PADI Rescue Diver Program, you'll learn how to anticipate, prevent and manage potential dive accidents.  From assisting a tired diver to handling emergency scenarios, you'll practice applying the knowledge and skills that can make the difference in the unlikely event problems do arise.  CPR Certification is required and now is provided with the "Seatasea Rescue Diver Plus" Program.  In this program, you will also complete the Medic First Aid Basic Certification and the DAN Oxygen Administration for Scuba Diving Injuries along with the PADI Oxygen Administration Distinctive Specialty.
