How it Works
- Online learning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Complete the knowledge development section of your course whenever, wherever it's convenient for you. Work at your own pace, online or offline, using a computer or mobile device. The eLearning will take between 8-12 hours to complete.
- The water training sessions are serious fun. You'll practice handling scenarios such as a leg cramp and assisting a tired diver by role-playing with other students and your instructor. The water training session is completed over two days.
- Certification also requires Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course, or show proof of equivalent training from a qualified agency. We highly recommend that you take the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider course at the same time.
