Diver Stress and Rescue Course
Divers describe the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.
You also need to have React Right (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Diver Stress and Rescue course. Your instructor may also offer the SSI Oxygen Provider specialty diver course at the same time.
The SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. Topics include:
