How the course works

PADI eLearning, at home. It’s required, and it’s bought separately from PADI. Buy it through our link so it connects straight to your instructor. If it isn’t done, you can’t start and we’ll have to reschedule.
At the shop, about 3.5 hours. Hands-on CPR, first aid and AED practice with your instructor, on manikins and at skill stations, with an AED trainer.
Scenarios. You put the skills together in practical scenarios, so you can stay calm and give care if it ever happens for real. Once every section is done and your eLearning is verified, we process your certification.

Need it for Rescue Diver?
