Description for Adventure Diver
A
medic first aid certification is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to take a Rescue
Diver Course, and we therefore offer a PADI Emergency First Response Course, which
takes one day and will teach you how to give Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (heart
massage and mouth-to-mouth), as well as basic first aid techniques. 
A
PADI Rescue Diver Course will test your ability to solve problems under pressure
and give you the tools to spot and deal with difficult situations before they
develop into full-blown crises. With its emphasis on prevention, self-rescue,
and the importance of managing situations effectively, the Rescue Diver Course
will equip you to deal with a wide range of typical problems, making you a better
buddy, and increasing your confidence as a diver. 
Your
first day will consist of pool and class work, equipping you with basic skills
such as assisting a panicking diver, surfacing an unconscious diver, and out of
air drills. In the classroom you will learn how to quickly identify stress in
divers and how to minimise the risks associated with differing diving conditions.
The second and third days are spent on the boat simulating emergencies, conducting
searches, and learning how best to manage the human resources available, as well
as learning how to administer oxygen, and in-water artificial ventilation techniques.
Be prepared for unexpected rescue scenarios! 
The
PADI Divemaster Course offers you the opportunity to achieve a professional rating,
whether your are interested in career development, or just want to improve your
diving knowledge and skills. Choose between a two or four-week course in the Mediterranean
Sea. The shorter course covers the basic exercises and theory required for certification
but we strongly recommend the four-week internship if you are interested in working
as a divemaster. Read about Divesicily's Work Experience program which is available
for Divemasters and Instructors wishing to gain experience and find work.
If
you elect to take the two-week option you should bear in mind that although the
prerequisite for starting a course is only 20 dives, we will not be able to certify
you as a divemaster until you have logged 60. We therefore recommend that you
should have logged around 45 dives prior to your arrival, and that you have completed
the required reading: workbook, manual and encyclopaedia.
The
four-week course is known as an internship and is specifically designed to prepare
you for the realities of life as a working divemaster. Like the two week course
you will cover the required skills and theory, but your instructor will also be
able to teach you something of the "art" of guiding. Under his or her
supervision your briefing, planning, and guiding skills will reach the levels
necessary for finding work.
