The PADI Rescue Diver course on the Perhentian Islands makes you a more aware, capable diver, able to prevent and manage problems in and out of the water. In the calm, warm bays off Long Beach and Coral Bay you rehearse tired-diver tows, surface and underwater rescues and missing-diver searches, building the confidence to look beyond yourself and help your buddies.
PADI Rescue Diver is widely regarded as the most rewarding recreational course. It is a prerequisite for the Divemaster programme and requires current emergency first aid and CPR training (such as Emergency First Response).
Rescue scenarios run in the sheltered bays and gentle reef sites of Perhentian Kecil, where calm water around 27-30°C during the March-to-October season lets you focus on technique rather than fighting conditions.
