why nusa penida?

Nusa Penida offers a good balance of sheltered conditions for your training drills, and real-life dive conditions that you’re more likely to actually encounter, should you need to help out in a rescue scenario – Hello, currents and waves! We think it’s better to practice your scenarios in these conditions so that you’re as prepared as you can be for a real rescue situation. Plus, the dive sites for your scenarios are pretty awesome! ;)

how does the course schedule look?

The course will take two days if you're already CPR & 1st Aid certified. You will complete online theory via PADI eLearning in advance, this covers the videos, knowledge review and final exam. Once you're here you will complete your emergency action plan and walk through some search patterns for a missing diver!

Days 2 and 3 of the course are all about the practical side - You'll learn skills in the pool and then go on to the boat for testing your skills in open water.

If it's been six months or longer since your last dive, then we strongly recommend starting with a day of fun dives before jumping straight in to rescue training.

Rescue Diver course schedule:

Day 1 - Theory review & Rescue practical in the pool
Day 2 - Rescue practical on the boat

If you're also doing EFR with us then the schedule will look like this:

Day 1 - EFR course
Day 2 - Theory review & Rescue practical in the pool
Day 3 - Rescue practical on the boat

THEORY ONLINE With PADI e-Learning before arrival

You will complete the theory components of the course at home, before your arrival via PADI eLearning - This saves you time on your holiday and you can get started with the practical stuff right away when you arrive!

There are 5 modules, each with a video and a knowledge review to check your understanding. Then there is a multiple choice final exam.

You can complete the modules at your own pace in your free time, but all components must be completed before your arrival at the resort.

You will need to register for a PADI account, and we will send you the PADI material once your booking is confirmed.
