Why Covid 19 changed the way we conduct PADI Rescue Exercise 7
The current Covid 19 public health crisis has raised several questions on how to conduct the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 during the PADI Rescue Course, Divemaster Course, and PADI IDC Course and adhere to local health and safety authority guidelines and World Health Organization recommendations to minimize the likelihood of disease transmission. Covid 19 can easily spread through close contact, especially simulating rescue breaths.

Equipment needed to perform the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 Covid 19 Update
In addition to dive equipment required by PADI standards each diver should have;
A personal rescue breathing mask (RBM). It is important that you only use the pocket mask of the victim while conducting the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 according to the new COVID 19 Guidelines.

The PADI Rescue Exercise 7 COVID 19 Guidelines are not hard, just perform it in a slow and controlled manner. The faster you are the more likely you will make mistakes. PADI takes this skill very seriously, but if you perform this skill the way I described you will not only pass your Rescue Diver and Divemaster Course, but you will receive full scores on your PADI IE evaluated by a PADI Examiner.
Finally, I would like to thank the PADI Instructor Development team for all the great tips and help for this article.
I wish you all best of success with the PADI Rescue Exercise 7 COVID 19 Update, and one more time remember: “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is fast”.
