For my rescue course there are typically two academic sessions and a couple of nights in the pool. What is not finished at the pool we finish the first day at open water. Even though there are two required scenarios I still schedule two days for open water.
Here is a list of the exercises and scenarios for PADI’s course:
Exercise 1 – Tired Diver
Exercise 2 – Panicked Diver
Exercise 3 – Response from shore, boat or dock
(responsive diver)
Exercise 4 – Distressed Diver Underwater
Exercise 5 – Missing Diver
Exercise 6 – Surfacing the Unresponsive Diver
Exercise 7– Unresponsive Diver at the Surface
Exercise 8 – Exiting the Unresponsive Diver
Exercise 9 – First Aid for Pressure-Related Injuries and
Oxygen Administration
Exercise 10 – Response from Shore/Boat to Unresponsive
(nonbreathing) Diver at the Surface
Scenario 1 – Unresponsive Diver Underwater
Scenario 2 – Unresponsive Diver at the Surface
It has been number of years since I taught an SSI “rescue” course I couldn’t begin to relate how theirs is laid out.
Find another instructor that will give the value this course really deserves.
