Rescue Diving Course Schedule – 3 Days
Panglao Rescue Diver Course - What you'll learn
A rescue diving course is one of the most intense and rewarding programs a scuba diver can take, pushing you to become more aware, confident, and capable in the water. It builds a strong foundation in emergency response, self-rescue, and assisting other divers, while sharpening your awareness and problem-solving under pressure. With guidance from our experienced instructors, you'll develop the skills needed to prevent and manage diving incidents, making you a safer, more responsible buddy and a stronger diver overall.
Self-Rescue Skills - the Foundation of the Rescue Course:
Before helping others, a diver must be able to stay calm, troubleshoot issues, and take care of themselves underwater. This part of the course focuses on developing confidence through practical skills like mask removal, regulator recovery, cramp release, and controlled ascents, ensuring you’re never a hazard to yourself or your dive team.
Buddy Rescue Skills - Become the Diver Everyone Wants to Dive With:
Buddy Rescue builds on your self-rescue skills and teaches you how to recognize and respond to problems your dive partner may face. You’ll learn to assist a stressed or panicked diver, perform safe approaches, and apply techniques to calm, support, and bring your buddy safely to the surface—all while keeping control of the situation.
Unconscious Diver - How to Deal with the Worst
Unconscious Diver training prepares you for one of the most serious scenarios a diver can face. You’ll learn how to locate, safely bring up, and tow an unconscious diver while maintaining an open airway and calling for help. This part of the course focuses on calm execution, clear thinking, and mastering the six anchor points of a full rescue response.

The Rescue Diver certification is a prerequisite for the Divemaster course. There is no minimum number of dives required to begin, but we strongly recommend completing an Advanced course first to build experience with buoyancy, deeper diving, and different diving environments.
You’ll also need a valid FRTI (First Response Training International) certification or a recognized equivalent such as EFR. If you don’t have one, no problem—we offer an FRTI course that takes around 3 hours and can easily be added to your Rescue Diver schedule.
