Diver Stress & Rescue

The first step will be your individual work with the digital theory part via the SSI website or App. We will schedule course days and times with your instructor for the classroom or online version of the theory sessions.

With SSI’s Diver Stress & Rescue specialty program, you’ll learn the skills you need to protect yourself and your fellow divers. Not only will you learn how to identify stress and avoid accidents, but you’ll also learn practical techniques for conducting rescues and providing assistance in emergency situations. By combining practical sessions in the pool and in open water, this programme prepares you perfectly and enables you to handle emergency and rescue situations with confidence.

Upon completion of the course, you will acquire the Diver Stress & Rescue international speciality certification.

Training Philosophy – The SSI Diver Diamond

• Knowledge: You will study the material at home and during interactive review sessions, your SSI Professional will teach you “land value to water value” and how the information learned applies to being underwater.
• Skills:The best way to learn skills is through continuous practice and correct repetition. The goal is for the core training skills to become second nature (” Comfort through repetition”).
• Equipment:Understanding how to operate the equipment ensures you will enjoy every minute in and under the water.
• Experience: SSI training develops knowledge and skills, but the only way to get real experience is to go diving frequently.
