Ask almost any diver which course changed them the most, and many will say the same thing: Rescue. It is serious training — CPR, oxygen, missing-diver searches, surface rescues — but it is also the course where our groups laugh the most, right on Cidade Velha beach.
You leave not just certified, but genuinely more confident underwater and as a buddy. If you already have Advanced Open Water, Rescue is the natural next step — and at our PADI centre in Cape Verde we run it in small groups with real scenarios in warm Atlantic water.
