Divers describe the SSI Stress and Rescue course as the most challenging , yet it is the most rewarding course they have ever taken.
Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water and you become a more confident diver with your skills, knowing that you can help others if they need it.
During the course, you learn to become a better partner by practicing problem solving techniques until it becomes second nature. Plus, the course is fun – but serious, yet still allows for a lot of learning-focused laughter.
