SSI React Right – Emergency Training

React Right is SSI’s comprehensive emergency training program. In this course you’ll learn how to respond calmly and effectively in medical and diving-related emergencies using First Aid, CPR, AED, and oxygen administration skills.

You’ll practice primary assessment, basic life support, and stabilization techniques so you can evaluate situations quickly and provide appropriate care until professional help arrives. These skills are valuable both in dive settings and in everyday life.

A valid First Aid and CPR certification is also a key prerequisite for the SSI Diver Stress & Rescue course and higher recognition levels, making React Right an important step in your overall dive education.
