Build the skills to prevent and handle diving emergencies with the SSI Diver Stress & Rescue course at Sipadan, practising on the calm reefs off Mabul before tackling the region's busier walls and currents. You learn to spot and defuse problems early, manage diver stress and carry out in-water rescues, gaining the composure that makes diving Sipadan and Kapalai safer. It is a key step on the path to SSI dive-leadership training.
SSI Diver Stress & Rescue is the rescue rating in the SSI system and a prerequisite for SSI Divemaster. It emphasises stress prevention and management, and requires a current React Right (or equivalent) first aid and CPR provider rating, which you can take alongside the course.
Stress and rescue skills are introduced on the sheltered house reef off Mabul before scenarios at adjacent reef sites add realistic, mild-current practice during the April-to-October peak season.
