SDI RESCUE DIVER COURSE
Your Path to Rescue Diver Certification at Saguaro Scuba: A Structured and Engaging Approach
Embarking on the Rescue Diver course at Saguaro Scuba in Mesa, Arizona, is an adventure that blends online learning with hands-on practice. Our course is divided into four distinct steps, each designed to build your confidence and skills as a diver.
Step 1: Engaging Academic Learning via eLearning
The first step in your journey is to acquire the vital academic knowledge every certified diver must possess. In the past, this involved several hours of formal classroom training. However, at Saguaro Scuba, we’ve embraced a modern approach. Our eLearning platform allows you to complete this phase through self-study at your own pace, offering the convenience of learning from your home or office. This eLearning portion is designed to be comprehensive yet flexible, typically requiring about 4-8 hours to complete, depending on your pace and learning style.
Step 2: Classroom Learning with Expert Instructors
Building on the foundation of eLearning, our Rescue Diver course takes you into the classroom for interactive sessions with our experienced instructors at Saguaro Scuba. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in discussions, ask questions, and deepen your understanding of rescue principles and techniques. The in-person classroom sessions are designed to reinforce the theoretical knowledge gained through eLearning, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of rescue concepts. Our expert instructors guide you through real-world scenarios, providing insights and practical insights that lay the groundwork for the hands-on components of the course.
Step 3: In-Water Skill Development in the Pool
The third step is all about getting your feet wet – literally. This phase of your training occurs in a swimming pool or a similar confined water body. Here, over approximately 5 hours, you will learn and practice the fundamental rescue skills that every diver needs to know. This controlled environment is perfect for focusing on skill development, allowing you to become comfortable with rescue techniques and emergency procedures before heading into open water.
Step 4: Real-World Application in Open Water
Finally, the fourth step takes you into the open water, under the watchful eye of your SDI Instructor. This session, lasting about 4 hours, is where you apply what you’ve learned from your academic studies and pool training. The open water environment provides practical lessons that only real-world experience can offer. It’s here that you’ll truly understand the nuances of rescue diving and gain the confidence to handle potential underwater emergencies.
At Saguaro Scuba, we’re committed to providing an educational experience that’s as enjoyable as it is informative. Each step of our Rescue Diver course is designed to ensure you become a proficient, confident, and safe diver, equipped with the skills to handle emergencies and assist others.
To sign up for a class, simply complete the purchase online. One of the Saguaro Scuba staff will reach out to help you register for eLearning, confirm in-person class dates, and review necessary equipment.
Note: The training provided in this package fulfills the essential requirements for certification. If extra training is desired, sessions can be arranged at $110 each.

Event Details
The pool segment of your Open Water training is scheduled as a one day event. Students and Instructors will meet at Saguaro Diving, generally at 8am, and start the day with SCUBA gear assignment and set-up. The student is responsible for having their personal gear; mask, fins, dive boots and snorkel; prior to this day of training. From the shop we will head out to a designated Mesa Parks & Rec pool for a day of training and fun. Before donning SCUBA gear there is a swim evaluation; 200 yards, any stroke, and a 10 minute float/tread; as required by the certifying agency, PADI/SDI. It is during your water time that the required skills are accomplished to make you a safe diver. Later, during your Open Water certification dives, you will be evaluated on some of the skills that you learned in the pool. Because PADI/SDI training is standardized the student will accomplish the same skills/be evaluated on specific skills no matter where the training is conducted. Although you will not need your educational materials for this session, please pack a picnic style lunch, beverages, a bathing suit & towel, and sunscreen, along with your personal gear. Let’s get wet and make some bubbles!
