SSI Diver Stress & Rescue Course

Begin your SSI Diver Stress & Rescue adventure today!

Knowing how to react to unexpected situations is key to being a safe and confident diver. Becoming a rescue diver is the first step towards taking your safety skills to the next level.

The SSI Stress & Rescue Diver Course is designed to equip you with the ability to prevent emergencies and deal with stressful situations underwater.
Combining confined water, shore dives, and boat dives, you'll receive specialised training in both stress management and in-water rescue techniques.

The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say its the best course they have ever taken.
