Emergency First Response Course (EFR) & Rescue Diver Course
To start with you need to ensure that you have CPR and First aid training that is current within the last 24 months. If you do not then the PADI EFR / CFC courses cover this perfectly.
Once completed the Rescue diver course starts with some knowledge development using the PADI Rescue Diver Manual and the PADI Rescue DVD. We then cover the ten Rescue Diver skills in our swimming pool. We then have four really interesting Open Water Rescue scenarios where we will test what you have learnt from the confined water sessions. These scenarios include dealing with distressed divers under water, missing divers and unconscious divers underwater.
The training is hard work but lots and lots of fun!

Dive Master Course
The PADI Dive Master course leads to an accredited professional level qualification that allows you to work as a scuba diving instructor and to help lead groups of divers. If you are hoping to work as a diving instructor or as a dive leader, then this is the first step into your new profession. Once you have qualified on this course, you will be able to look for a job as an assistant to a PADI certified Instructor, helping to teach students on PADI diving courses. Attaining accredited qualifications is essential if you will be seeking employment in this field. After qualifying as a PADI certified Dive Master, you will be able to plan, organize and direct both training and non-training dives. You will be able to work with both snorkelers and scuba divers, although the Dive Master qualification does not entitle you to perform as much independent teaching of scuba divers as you can of snorkelers. PADI, which is an association for professional diving instructors, offers a number of accredited qualifications for amateur and professional divers who have taken courses at recognized diver training institutions. The Dive Master qualification is the basic professional level diving qualification. The Dive Master course is an intense and challenging experience that will allow you to develop your diving skills up to a fully professional level. Taking this course is an important step in a professional diving career. It is often during a course at this level that the line between amateur and professional diver is crossed and experience of leading a dive is gained for the first time.
