Become the Scuba Diver that everyone trusts.
Every diver remembers the moment they fell in love with the underwater world. But there comes a point when it’s not just about exploring — it’s about being prepared, being calm under pressure, and knowing how to help when it matters most.
That’s what the PADI Rescue Diver Course is all about.
Take the Leap From Diver to Leader
If you’re already an Advanced Open Water diver, the next step isn’t just deeper dives — it’s deeper awareness.
The Rescue Diver Course transforms how you dive. It sharpens your ability to identify risks, respond to problems, and care for other divers. You’ll learn to stay composed during real-life scenarios — whether it’s dealing with a panicked buddy, managing a missing diver, or providing assistance on the surface.
It’s intense. It’s empowering. And most divers say it’s the most rewarding course they’ve ever taken.
What You’ll Learn
This course isn’t about memorizing theory — it’s about action and response.
✅ Key Topics Include:
- Self-rescue techniques
- Recognizing and managing stress in others
- Responding to diver emergencies
- Search patterns for missing divers
- In-water rescue and egress
- Surface assists and rescue breaths
You’ll practice both confined water skills (at Plunge Dive Club’s indoor pool in Ortigas) and open water rescue scenarios in Anilao — giving you practical training in real-world settings.

- Your group loses visual on someone mid-dive.
