PADI Rescue Diver Course at the Gili Islands

Day 1: Theoretical Foundations and Pool Training

The first day of the PADI Rescue Diver course is dedicated to building a strong theoretical foundation. You’ll start with classroom sessions that cover essential topics such as diver stress, emergency management, and recognizing diver distress. These sessions are crucial for understanding the responsibilities of a rescue diver and the various scenarios you might encounter.

Following the theory, you will transition to pool training. Here, you’ll practice various rescue exercises in a controlled environment. This session is designed to familiarize you with rescue techniques without the added variables of open water conditions. It's a safe space to make mistakes, ask questions, and get comfortable with new skills.

Day 2: Mastering Skills in the Ocean

On the second day, you’ll take your newly acquired skills to the ocean. The open water environment presents more realistic and challenging conditions, allowing you to apply what you've learned in the pool in a real-world setting. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you will practice scenarios such as rescuing unresponsive divers, managing panicked divers, and providing first aid.

This day is not just about executing techniques; it's about understanding the nuances of rescue operations in the dynamic environment of the ocean. You'll learn to adapt to changing conditions, work with a team, and make quick decisions.

Day 3: “Real-Life” Scenarios and Certification

The final day of the course is perhaps the most exciting. You will participate in two simulated "real-life" rescue scenarios. These scenarios are designed to test your ability to integrate and apply all the skills and knowledge you've acquired. You will face situations that mimic real-life emergencies, requiring you to use your judgement, skills, and techniques to manage the scenarios effectively.

Upon successful completion of these scenarios, you will be certified as a PADI Rescue Diver. This certification is not just a testament to your ability to handle underwater emergencies but also a recognition of your commitment to safe diving practices and your capability to assist others in need.
