Each practical exercise prepares you to handle real diving situations with calm, competent decision-making.

Your comprehensive package includes all course materials plus Emergency First Response (EFR) training. The variable 2-4 day timeline accommodates different learning paces and schedules—perfect for visitors wanting to explore while earning this prestigious certification. Whether you're a quick learner or prefer taking extra time, the program adapts to your needs.

Open to divers ages 14 and older, this PADI rescue diver certification course starts from $749.99 per person. All required materials come included, so there are no surprise equipment costs. Ola ParaDive operates with strict safety standards as a leave-no-trace company, emphasizing responsible diving practices. Please note that marine life sightings are affected by ocean conditions and seasonal changes, and actively touching ocean dwellers will result in immediate return to the boat with no refund.

Book with confidence knowing their 48-hour advance cancellation policy offers full refunds, plus a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals (after which a $75 rescheduling fee applies). Ola ParaDive reserves the right to alter or cancel charters due to weather or safety conditions. This transformative training doesn't just teach rescue skills—it develops the problem-solving mindset that makes diving safer and more rewarding for everyone in your group.
