Course overview

The PADI Rescue Diver course on Havelock turns you into a calmer, more capable diver who can prevent and manage problems in the open Andaman Sea. You'll run rescue scenarios in sheltered bays and at reef sites like Lighthouse, where mild current and 28°C water let you focus on technique. Many divers call it the most challenging yet rewarding course they take here.

Where you'll dive in Havelock Island

Rescue exercises are staged in Havelock's calm, shallow bays and at gently sloping reef sites such as Lighthouse, ideal for towing and search drills in 5-12 metre depths. The clear, warm Andaman water means good surface visibility for managing simulated emergencies. Sheltered sites remain accessible even in the windier monsoon period.
