Rescue DIVER COURSE

SSI DIVER STRESS & RESCUE

The SSI STRESS & RESCUE COURSE IS ALL ABOUT PREVENTION, AWARENESS AND SMART DECISION MAKING

Diving should be all about fun and adventure—but knowing how to handle the unexpected? That’s next-level confidence.

Stress plays a huge role in many rescue situations and dive accidents, which is why the SSI Stress & Rescue course is all about prevention, awareness and smart decision-making. You’ll learn how to recognise, manage and resolve potential issues, both on the surface and underwater—giving you the skills to keep yourself and your dive buddies safe.

Most divers say this is one of the most rewarding courses they’ve ever taken. At Pleasure Divers, we make sure it’s as engaging, hands-on and fun, as it is informative. Whether you're working toward a dive pro certification or just want to level up your safety skills, this course is a total game-changer.
