SSI's Diver Stress & Rescue course in Pondicherry teaches you to recognise and defuse problems before they escalate, with scenarios set on the warm Bay of Bengal reefs. The forgiving Oct-to-May conditions off Pondicherry make ideal training water for repeated rescue and tow drills.
SSI's Stress & Rescue uses digital learning, a performance-based repeat-to-mastery approach and a digital SSI certification, with the option to add the React Right first-aid program.
Training takes place on Pondicherry's calm Bay of Bengal reef sites between 6 and 18m, where steady Oct-May seas and 27-30C water suit surface-tow and missing-diver drills. The mild current and good visibility keep scenarios realistic but safe.
