You learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.
The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills.

5.00I did my Rescue Diver course with Divinguru Nilaveli and had such a great experience! The dive shop was super organized, the team knew exactly what they were doing, and everything felt smooth and professional from the start. Huge shoutout to Ellie, my instructor — she was so patient, clear, and made the course way more enjoyable than I expected. Even when we were just doing skills underwater, I ended up seeing loads of cool marine life, which made it even better! I learned so much, felt totally safe the whole time, and had a lot of fun too. Would 100% recommend Divinguru Nilaveli if you’re thinking about doing a course or just want to go diving. Thanks again to Ellie and the whole crew!
excellent
