Description of the Junior Open Water Course:
The PADI Junior Rescue Diver course teaches young divers how to prevent and manage problems in the water, building their confidence and diving skills. Your child will learn how to respond to dive emergencies, perform rescues, and assist others, all while improving their own awareness and readiness. With guidance from experienced instructors, kids aged 12–14 will participate in rescue exercises in both pool and ocean settings. The skills learned in this course prepare divers for real-life scenarios in a safe and supportive environment.
Courses are available every day!
What to Expect:
- Day 1: Day 1: Theory & Pool Skills – Your child will start their training with PADI eLearning, followed by in-water rescue skills in our training pool. They’ll learn self-rescue, stress recognition, and how to assist tired or panicked divers.
- Day 2: Ocean Scenarios – Part 1 – Your child will head out for their first rescue scenario dives. They’ll practice responding to simulated problems such as search patterns, assisting unresponsive divers, and managing a rescue situation.
- Day 3: Ocean Scenarios – Part 2 & Final Assessments – They’ll put everything together during a final series of rescue scenarios. Upon successful completion, your child will earn their PADI Junior Rescue Diver certification!
Schedule varies depending on the rescue scenarios you practice.

What is the Cancellation Policy?
If the reservation is canceled or modified up to 24 hours before the activity date, no cancellation fee will be charged. If the reservation is canceled or modified less than 24 hours before the activity, or in the event of a no show, 100% of the prepaid deposit will be charged.
No cancellation fee will apply if the activity is canceled by Xico Dive Center due to weather conditions, port closure, or operational reasons, and cannot be rescheduled.
In the case of cancellations due to medical reasons, no cancellation fee will apply only if a valid medical certificate is provided within 24 hours of the scheduled tour time.
For courses that include PADI or other eLearning materials, the deposit is non refundable once the eLearning has been activated or issued. This is because the training materials remain valid and can still be used by the student, whether they continue the course with us at a later date or complete it with another dive center.
If a course or activity must be postponed, we will always do our best to reschedule it according to availability.
