Overview

Become a more aware, capable and confident diver with the PADI Rescue Diver & Emergency First Response Combo in Taganga.

This program combines essential CPR and First Aid training with one of the most challenging and rewarding recreational PADI courses.

Emergency First Response teaches you how to respond to medical emergencies, while Rescue Diver takes your awareness and problem-solving skills into the diving environment. You’ll learn to recognize problems before they become emergencies and respond to tired, panicked, missing or unresponsive divers.

Choose between an intensive 2-day program or a 3-day option with additional confined-water rescue training for more hands-on practice and simulations.

2-day program – Rescue Diver open-water training plus Emergency First Response training.

3-day option – additional confined-water rescue training for more hands-on practice and simulations.

Course Itinerary

Duration: 2 or 3 days – includes 4 open-water training dives over 2 days and approximately half a day of classroom Emergency First Response training. The 3-day option adds confined-water training for additional hands-on rescue practice and simulations.

Before Arrival – Digital Learning

Complete your PADI Rescue Diver and Emergency First Response digital learning before arrival whenever possible.

Emergency First Response Training

Approximately half a day is dedicated to practical Emergency First Response training, including:

Primary Care – CPR
Secondary Care – First Aid
Scene assessment
Barrier use
Serious bleeding management
Shock management
Spinal injury considerations
Injury and illness assessment
Emergency response procedures

Rescue Diver – 4 Open-Water Training Dives

Across two days, develop and practice:

Recognizing diver stress
Preventing problems before they escalate
Assisting tired divers
Responding to panicked divers
Missing-diver procedures
Unresponsive-diver response
Surfacing an unresponsive diver
In-water rescue breathing
Towing and exits
Emergency management
Realistic rescue scenarios

Optional 3-Day Program – Additional Confined-Water Training

Choose the 3-day option for additional time to practice rescue techniques in a controlled environment before applying them in open water.

This provides more opportunity for:

Repeating rescue techniques
Practicing different scenarios
Improving towing and positioning
Tired and panicked-diver practice
Unresponsive-diver procedures
Additional individual instructor feedback

It’s especially valuable for divers who prefer more hands-on practice or are considering future professional training.
