Dive Otago

Ensure you and those you dive with are safe by taking the PADI Rescue Diver Course. 

“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe this course.

Building upon what you’ve already learnt, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur. The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.

Course Booking Instructions 

Step 1: Find a course. 

Find a month that works for you on our course calendar. 

Note down the course number you are interested in joining and put this in the notes in the shopping cart.

If you are unsure when you would like to start, you can still purchase the course and we can arrange it with you at a later date when you would like to do it.

Step 2: Have you been diving with us before? 

If its been a while since you did your Open Water Course or haven't been for a dive with us before, we have a pre-assessment night before the course to familiarise yourself with the equipment and the skills. 

For more information, give us a call in store. 

Step 3: Make sure you meet the requirements:

• Certified in First Aid and CPR within the past 24 months
• Pre-assessment $30 (if required)
• 14 years of age
• Complete a Medical Questionnare - Just fill in the first page, if you answer YES to any of the questions you will need to get the medical signed off by a doctor. We recommend seeing a hyperbaric (diving) doctor.
