PADI Rescue Exercise 7 - These 7 Tips Will Help You Pass:
​
Tip 1: Do everything slowly in a calm manner. Remember that you are simulating/demonstrating the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 skill. But even in real life, you should not perform any step too quickly. I know that your gut tells you to do it super quick as someone's life is in danger. However, we have found out that when you perform the steps too quickly, you rush, which leads to making unnecessary mistakes and getting stuck with removing the scuba equipment. This in turn leads to extra delay’s which can make you even be slower, than when you just stayed calm and performed the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 slowly. My favorite quote, in this case, is: “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is fast”.

Tip 2: Make sure you have an equipment handler to give the weight system when you perform this skill in deep open water or if you don’t want to damage the bottom floor of the swimming pool.

Tip 3: Should I count out loud or not? I prefer to teach and perform the skill with no counting out loud as it feels a bit unrealistic. However, lots of students, Dive Instructors, and Course Directors prefer this, to make sure that the important step of administrating a rescue breath every 5 seconds does not get skipped. In the end, it does not manner if you count outlaid or not, what matters is that you don’t forget to administrate the 1 rescue breath every 5 seconds. So choose whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Do NOT remove your right hand under the victim's neck once you placed it throughout the entire exercise.

Tip 4: Make sure you have a proper seal with your hands around the mask and the face of the victim.

Tip 5: Try to teach the same order/style to your Rescue, Divemaster, and IDC students/candidates. This ensures consistency, efficiency, reduces confusion in students, and greatly helps other PADI instructors/course directors down the line. It also ensures the highest scores on the PADI IE and is very efficient for memorizing the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 in the unlikely event you need to perform this in real life. Yes, there are different styles on how you can teach this, but we recommend sticking with the style PADI recommends.

Tip 6: Remember to keep swimming/pulling towards the exit point. During the PADI IDC course and the PADI IE, you usually swim in a circle around the PADI Course Director / Examiner to simulate you moving towards the exit point. This can be different depending on the location, Course Director, and/or Examiner.

Tip 7: To simulate realism try to picture that this is a real-life scenario. Don’t just do the steps like a robot, try to care about your victim, and the whole skill performance will look and feel so much better. This also prevents silly mistakes. Trust me on this one.
