PADI Rescue Diver

This course follows the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course, and covers rescue skills and self-rescue to make you a more confident and versatile diver.

You complete some ten training excercises, some in the pool, and some in the sea, followed by a day of 'rescue scenarios' in the sea; some reading, video or DVD sessions, knowledge reviews and tests/quizzes.

The El Cabrón Marine Reserve at Arinaga on Gran Canaria is one of the ten best dive sites in Spain, and has its own guide book. Dives vary from 6 to 30m and not only is it packed with fish, the variety and bio-diversity have surprised and astounded many visitors. Barracudas, morays, five types of stingray, grunts, trumpetfish, bream, damselfish, parrotfish, wrasse and cephalopods are all found in huge numbers, different seasons can bring stingray, angelshark, blue shark, and many other species into the area. Don't turn your nose up at the fact that this is a shore diving area - all the sealife is packed in close to the shore and the underwater lava scenery is stunning. There are caves to explore with the vivid red Canary Island Lobsterette, and night diving can bring squid, red-legged octopus and golden balearic congers.
