The SSI Stress & Rescue Diver Course is one of the most rewarding scuba courses and focuses on developing awareness, confidence, and problem-solving skills both in and out of the water.
You’ll learn how to prevent diving incidents, assist stressed or panicked divers, and respond to emergency situations through realistic scenarios and hands-on training. The course combines theory, skill development, and practical rescue exercises under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
This course is ideal for divers who want to become more confident, capable dive buddies and take an important step toward professional-level training.
