The PADI Rescue Diver Course is a diving certification program that teaches divers how to prevent and manage diving emergencies, as well as how to provide assistance to other divers in distress. The course is designed to challenge and build the knowledge and skills of divers, and is typically considered one of the most rewarding and challenging diving courses available.

During the PADI Rescue Diver Course, divers will learn about self-rescue techniques, as well as how to recognize and respond to a variety of diving emergencies. They will also learn how to administer first aid and rescue breathing, and how to use rescue equipment such as lift bags and rescue tubes. The course includes both classroom and practical training, and typically involves a series of scenario-based rescue exercises. Upon completion of the course, divers will be certified as PADI Rescue Divers and will be able to assist other divers in distress, as long as they follow proper diving procedures and guidelines.
