New Rescue Adventure Dive
In 2021, PADI introduced the Rescue Diver Adventure Dive, which provides an introduction to the PADI Rescue Diver Course.
During this dive, you’ll learn three essential skills: self-rescue, assisting a panicked diver, and searching for a missing diver. These skills can then be credited towards the PADI Rescue Diver course.
The Scuba Equipment You Use
As with your PADI Open Water course you will use all the standard scuba gear including your underwater compass. Depending on which three adventure dives you select, you could be using a digital underwater camera, an underwater dive light, lift bags, a dive flag/float or other specialized equipment.Â
The Learning Aids You Will Be Using
PADI’s Advanced Open Water online eLearning program will give you valuable information on more than 16 types of specialty diving. You will refer to the online theory to improve your scuba diving skills and prepare yourself for new experiences and adventures.
Struggle with underwater navigation? Underwater navigation is a compulsory Adventure Dive in the PADI Advanced Open Water course so it will be one of the skill that with the assistance of our instructor you will improve.
