About Emergency Response Diving
For most divers, PADI’s Rescue Diver course is where they learn the basics of self-sufficiency and buddy assistance. While the course offers a sold foundation, it's hardly adequate for the professional emergency response diver.

PERT Prerequisite Courses
Before you can enroll in the full PERT Diver course, you'll need to take these prerequisite courses:
Be dive-ready for any environment with PERT Encapsulated Diver. It integrates two previously separate courses – Dry Suit and Full-Face Mask w/Surface Communications – to provide a student training that’s as close to real-world conditions as possible.
Public safety divers don't always have the luxury of a dive buddy. The PERT Self-Sufficiency Diver course is designed to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for diving without a buddy.
Professional rescue divers work at night, in swift currents, churned up seas and zero visibility. This PERT courses teaches you the techniques you'll need when the bell sounds.
