PADI Rescue Course with a camel
Example of the hazards that some of our divers enjoy while learning to dive in Dahab
The PADI Rescue Course is a seriously fun course which teaches divers how to deal with a wide range of potential emergency situations. While diving is a very safe sport (when done correctly) every diver who takes safety seriously should complete this course at some point so they know how to react correctly in an emergency situation and administer emergency first aid if required
In Dahab we have an added hazard of random camels joining the students, we are still working on how to actually ‘rescue’ a camel as rescue breaths are kind of difficult (and quite disgusting) so we might give them a miss. On the plus side, if he recovers you can always ride him home afterwards.
