The PADI Rescue Diver pathway

PADI Rescue Diver combines PADI Touch eLearning with in-water scenario training, requires a current EFR, and issues a PADI card; it is the prerequisite step toward Divemaster.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

Rescue exercises use Neil's protected shallows and reef sites like Coral Safari (5-20 m), where light currents and 27-30C water from November to May let you focus on technique. Scenarios reach the 18-30 m range so you practise managing depth in realistic conditions.
