The skills you hope you'll never need — and the ones every diver should have.

The SSI Stress and Rescue Specialty teaches you to manage stress underwater and help another diver through a problem or emergency, so your dives — and your buddies' — stay safer and more enjoyable. No better place to learn and refine these skills than with Scubabo Dive Victoria, where you'll get the most comprehensive, environmentally conscious dive training available anywhere in Australia.

Don't hold current First Aid, CPR or Oxygen Provider certification? You can start this course without them — we can run those courses with you before your certification is issued, for an additional fee — no need to sort it elsewhere first.

What's included

BCD, regulator, tank and weights hire

SSI training materials and fees

A minimum of 3 open-water training dives

Mandatory personal gear: you'll need your own SMB and reel for this course. Mask, snorkel, fins, gloves and boots are also on you, same as our other courses. Buy what you need through the Extras tab during booking, or in person on Day 1 — professionally fitted by our Dive Crew, with a face-to-face contact for any warranty or return issues.
