Diver Stress & Rescue

Recognise emergency situations, resolve them — and help others when it really matters.

The SSI Diver Stress & Rescue course is one of the most valuable courses you can take as a diver. You learn to recognise stress in yourself and others, prevent emergency situations, and intervene when things go wrong — in the water and at the surface.

The course combines theory, land exercises and water scenarios. You practise realistic rescue situations: from bringing an unconscious diver to the surface to performing resuscitation at the water's surface.

To complete the course you need a valid certificate in first aid, CPR and oxygen administration. The SSI React Right course provides an excellent foundation for this - if you haven't done it yet, we recommend completing it beforehand.
