PADI RESCUE COURSES WITH OXYGENE SURREY

Although this course is challenging, it is a rewarding way to build your confidence. Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Many divers say this is the best course they’ve ever taken.

This course will give you the skills and knowledge to handle and recognise diver stress. You will have the confidence to handle a diver in a panic situation underwater and on the surface.  You will learn how to manage a diving emergency. You will also cover in water rescue breathing protocol and different ways to exit the water with a diver whos in trouble. Through a combination of academic, pool and open water sessions the Instructor will lead you through the core skills and give you hints and tips to be confident in any diving situation.

What You Will Learn:

A typical schedule is one Saturday of theory and pool sessions, followed by a day in Open Water to complete the course.  The theory part takes place here in our classroom at the dive centre.  The 4-5 hour of pool sessions take place in  the Surrey Sports Park 50m long swimming pool.    For the Open Water sessions we usually use Wraysbury Lake just up the M25 around 45 minutes from the dive centre. Click here for our 2012 Inland Dive Site Training Dates.  An enclosed, calm, shallow body of water..its perfect to practice Rescue skills!  Another way to finish the course is to combine it with one of our Red Sea Escorted Liveaboard Dive Holidays.  The course price above includes manual, pocket mask, all equipment (excluding drysuit), entry to the lake and all tuition.  For our next course see the 'Activities' section on the right hand side of our main page or call the dive centre.

Course Cost:   £320 including PADI Rescue Diver Crewpack , pocket mask and certification.  If you already have a holiday planned it is also possible to complete a PADI Rescue Diver Referral.  This means just completing the Theory and Pool sessions of the course with us and then we give you the relevent paperwork that you can take to another PADI Dive Centre and complete the Open Water section with them.  Cost for the PADI Resce Diver Referral is £180 including PADI Rescue DIver Crewpack and tuition.
