Rescue Diver is the course divers remember most, because it is the one where you stop thinking only about yourself. Three days, 9,000 MXN, everything included. You learn to see a problem before it becomes one, to help a tired or panicked diver, and to manage an emergency calmly.

The course
The Rescue Diver course teaches you to prevent problems and to manage them when they happen, in the water and on the surface. It is demanding in the best way: you tow, you lift, you search, you think under pressure, and by the third day the responses are automatic.
Day by day
Who it is for
Advanced Open Water divers who want to be the diver everyone is glad to have on the boat: buddies, parents diving with their children, divers heading towards Divemaster, and anyone whose confidence underwater has not caught up with their certification. The minimum age is 12 for the junior certification, and the course runs in English, German or Spanish.
You need a current first aid and CPR certification (within the last 24 months). If you do not have one, tell us when you book so we can plan it before the course.
Open Water teaches you to dive; Rescue teaches you to look after other divers. It is the point where diving stops being about your own gauges and becomes a shared activity, and it is a prerequisite for Divemaster. Most students say it was hard work and the most satisfying three days of their diving.
Key details
Good to know
What divers ask us before they book this course.
An Advanced Open Water certification from any agency and a first aid and CPR certification from the last 24 months. If you are missing the first aid course, tell us when you book and we plan it before the Rescue days.
It is active: towing a diver, lifting them onto a boat, swimming searches. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be a comfortable swimmer and reasonably fit.
There is a written final exam alongside the scenarios, and the theory is straightforward if you read the materials before you arrive.
Small groups, so every student plays both rescuer and victim in every scenario. That repetition is what makes the skills automatic.
Yes. Rescue Diver plus a current first aid certification are the prerequisites for the Divemaster course, and most of our Divemaster candidates do the two back to back.
Learning materials, theory sessions, pool training, four open water dives, full rental equipment and the certification fee. Nothing is added later.
Yes. Many students add a reef morning, a cenote day or a Cozumel trip after the course, and the rescue skills make those dives more relaxed.
PADI or SDI, your choice; the skills and the recognition are the same. We confirm the agency when you book.
