PADI Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver is a great course to enhance your diving skills. It provides confidence in the water for both you and your buddy.
The PADI Rescue Course might sound challenging and extreme since it covers a lot of serious scenarios, but it is probably the most fun course PADI has to offer! You will work closely with your instructor and you might even improve your acting skills a bit by role-playing both as a victim and a rescuer.
Learn how to identify stress within yourself and others and how to reduce it. The Strýtan instructors will put extra focus on self-rescue and how to identify the conditions that the Icelandic waters may offer.
