The course normally takes two to three days, depending on your schedule and progress.

- Assisting tired or panicked divers
- Missing-diver procedures
- Responding to an unresponsive diver
- Accident management and emergency planning
Requirements and first aid
Tell us your certification level and provide recent CPR and first aid certification details. The team will check your eligibility before training.
The standalone Rescue page lists EFR as an additional THB 9,500. The separate combined Rescue + EFR package is THB 19,550; compare both options before choosing.
Included in the course
Learning materials, instructor guidance, scuba equipment, emergency equipment practice and certification processing are included. Local transfers and light lunch, snacks and water are provided during boat training.
Rescue training develops awareness before response
The PADI Rescue Diver course in Pattaya changes the focus from managing only your own dive to noticing how the whole situation is developing. A buddy who is unusually quiet, a diver struggling with equipment or a confused surface plan can deserve attention before there is an emergency. Learning to recognise stress and communicate early is a central part of becoming a more useful buddy.
Practical exercises introduce self-rescue, assistance to other divers and organised responses to simulated incidents. You work through situations under instructor supervision, discuss what happened and repeat activities to improve your judgement. The aim is coordinated action within your training, rather than improvising a rescue after reading a list of instructions online.
Expect an active course with teamwork and discussion. Your instructor assesses the required knowledge and performance. Completing Rescue training does not make you a medical professional, guarantee an outcome or authorise you to take on a situation beyond your abilities.
Check your certification and first-aid history
Before reserving training, send your diving qualification, recent experience and the date of your CPR and first-aid training. The instructor checks whether your previous training meets current entry requirements. If your first-aid training needs updating, the combined Rescue and Emergency First Response option gives you a route that includes both subjects.
The standalone Rescue price is THB 14,550. Our separate Rescue + EFR package is THB 19,550. These are different booking choices: choosing the less expensive standalone course is appropriate only when you already meet the first-aid requirements. We can help you compare the options before you start.
Allow time to study and arrive ready to take part in practical exercises. Tell the instructor about anything that affects participation through the appropriate course paperwork. A well-planned training schedule is more useful than compressing rescue exercises into a holiday day that is already full of other commitments.
