PADI Rescue Diver Course in Okinawa
The PADI Rescue Diver Course is often described by divers as the most challenging, yet the most rewarding course they have ever taken. This course changes the way you dive by teaching you how to prevent problems, manage emergencies, and assist other divers when it matters most.
Throughout the course, you will practice realistic rescue scenarios, improve your situational awareness, and become a more confident and reliable dive buddy. While the training is serious, the course is also fun, engaging, and highly motivating.
