Longer dives, shorter intervals
If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then join us for Enriched Air (Nitrox) - PADI's most popular speciality course.
During this 2 hour classroom session you’ll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time coupled with shorter surface intervals. You'll also discuss equipment considerations for using enriched air.
What will I do?
The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios you put into practice your knowledge and skills.
What happens when I book?
Most students choose to complete our Rescue Plus Diver certification bundle (you will have the option to add this during checkout) which includes PADI Rescue Diver, Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) and the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Speciality certification. By doing this you'll gain your required first aid training, add another PADI Speciality in your quest to be a Master Scuba Diver (this one's really crucial too) and save considerably on the cost of completing the courses separately.
Typically the other students on the Emergency First Response and Emergency Oxygen Provider courses are your buddies, therefore you'll have chance to work with them and bond as a team prior to completing your Rescue Diver training. The courses are scheduled just before the Rescue Diver course so your skills will be fresh.
