Upon completion, you will earn the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue Specialty certification.
The SSI Diver Stress & Rescue course is one of the most important and rewarding courses you can take. It teaches you to recognise and manage stress in yourself and other divers, and to respond effectively if something goes wrong underwater. Beyond safety, most divers say this course makes them feel dramatically more relaxed and in control on every dive. This course is also a mandatory prerequisite for anyone pursuing the Divemaster or professional diving pathway
