RESCUE Bundle offers
Since the PADI EFR course is one of the prerequisites for the PADI RESCUE course, we have included the EFR in our package offers.
Furthermore, it is "highly recommended" to complete the NAVIGATION Specialty at the same time, as it is absolutely necessary that you can orient yourself underwater at the level of a RECUE Diver.
We've also included the PADI Deep Diver as a third specialty, since you've already completed one of the deep dives in the AOWD. So, you only need three more dives to complete this specialty and be able to dive anywhere in the world down to 40 meters.
Of course, you can also save money if you book one of the packages listed below instead of taking all the courses individually.
