Live the Scuba Dream with Chasper - PADI Rescue Diver Course

The winner of Live the Scuba Dream, Chasper from Switzerland looks very busy during his PADI Rescue Diver Course at Calypso Diving from Boracay. In this picture Chasper is performing in-water rescue breathing while towing the unconscious diver! This is one of the most important skills to master in the Rescue course where providing the in-water ventilation as soon as possible may actually save life of the victim. PADI Rescue course is full of emergency situations that student divers need to master in order to get more confidence and act when necessary.


Tired Diver Tow or Push is a very useful skill from the PADI Rescue course. How often divers get cramps after the diving? I think a lot and helping them to get to the shore or boat safely means a lot. Please remember to do this skill correctly the rescuer and the tired diver should be positively buoyant to make it easier so make sure that the first thing to do is to inflate the BCD. In this picture rescue student Mimie is performing tired diver push on Chasper which may be easier for rescuers who are smaller than the victims.
