Develop the skills to prevent and manage diving emergencies with the PADI Rescue Diver course in the Seychelles. Across Mahe's protected bays and boulder reefs you practise self-rescue, tired-diver assists and missing-diver searches in real Indian Ocean conditions before staging full emergency scenarios. Many divers rate it the most rewarding PADI course. It leaves you a more confident, aware diver and is the step toward professional ratings.
PADI Rescue Diver builds on Adventure or Advanced Open Water training and requires a current CPR and first-aid rating such as Emergency First Response. It is a required step toward the PADI Divemaster and instructor pathway.
Rescue training uses Mahe's calm, protected bays around Beau Vallon for skill practice and the nearby granite-boulder reefs for scenarios, in 26-30C water with calm-to-moderate conditions. The settled windows of April-May and September-November suit the open-water exercises well.
