Be prepared for unexpected emergencies! Through the SSI Stress & Rescue course you will learn how to prevent accidents, as well as how to handle problem situations if they do occur. The course is all about avoiding, recognizing and solving problems on the surface as well as under water. You will learn how to rescue yourself, recognize and manage stress of yourself and other divers, how to work with emergency equipment and how to manage an emergency and how to rescue panicked or unresponsive divers. Most divers find this course the best course they have ever taken, not just because of the fun involved with it, but because it has made them more confident divers and better buddies.
