The SSI Diver Stress & Rescue Diver course is an important and crucial step in expanding a diver`s knowledge and experience beyond a purely recreational level. Now you start to think about other divers and not just yourself! The SSI Diver Stress & Rescue Diver rating is a vital stepping stone to all SSI leadership training (Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Open Water Scuba Instructor).

If you have not completed a First Aid / CPR training in the previous 24 months, the 1 day EFR (Emergency First Response) or React Right – First Aid and CPR course is required before completing the Rescue Diver course.
