So you have successfully completed the PADI Advanced Diver course, and you are working your way through the PADI Speciality Courses and are wondering which course to do next then the EFR (Emergency First Response) and Rescue Diver courses are for you. As you may know the PADI Rescue Diver course is a pre-requisite for achieving both the highest PADI recreational Diving Qualification - Master Scuba Diver, and the first step on the road to becoming a dive professional as a PADI Divemaster. Just talk to any of our club members, who have already completed this course and they will tell you “this is one of the most demanding but rewarding and fun courses". During this course, you will learn all the skills necessary to rescue divers, and practice these essential skills in realistic scenarios.

If you interested in taking part please get in touch with the dive centre A.S.A.P!!

Latest News Dream Divers now have a PADI Oxygen Provider Instructor. So if anyone is interested in doing the PADI Oxygen Provider Course please get in touch with the dive centre. As this course does not include any dives, it is equally suitable for both divers and non-divers. In fact, you do not need any previous CPR or first aid training to take the course.
