Course overview

The PADI Rescue Diver course in Alor makes you a more aware, more capable diver who can prevent and manage problems, which is a real asset in the archipelago's strong, shifting currents. Through scenario training in the calmer bays near Kalabahi and on local reefs, you learn self-rescue, how to assist a panicked or unresponsive diver, and how to coordinate an emergency at the surface.

The PADI Rescue Diver pathway

PADI Rescue Diver is widely regarded as the most rewarding recreational course and is a required step toward the Divemaster rating. Current Emergency First Response (or equivalent first-aid and CPR) training is a prerequisite.

Where you'll dive in Alor

Rescue skills are drilled in the sheltered bays around Kalabahi where you can repeat exercises safely, then tested in scenarios on local reefs where Alor's currents add realism to managing a tired or missing diver.
