The PADI Rescue Diver course is one of the most rewarding courses you'll do in your life.  Although you'll spend very little time actually diving during the course you'll find your diving magically improves over a relatively short timeframe.

You'll learn to respond to dive situations and emergencies - but more importantly, you'll learn to identify potential problems and emergencies before they become serious, and you'll learn to deal with them safely and effectively. The diving improvement you'll notice comes from the fact that your own diving becomes almost second-nature, as you focus instead on other people and on the nuances that let you predict what's about to happen.

The prerequisite for this programme is a current first aid certification completed within the previous 24 months.  The course is broken down into two main areas knowledge development and skill development.  To aid in water development we use pool sessions to develop your new skills before going to open water.  The pool sessions are run on Friday evenings at the brand new John Charles Centre for Sports (South Leeds Stadium) which has a 5.5m deep pool.  Please arrive at the pool on time a these are valuable additions to the rescue training, being late reduces the in-water time.  The open water training is completed over a weekend at a convenient location dependant on students and instructors.
