Course Description
The SSI Stress & Rescue Diver course at Diver's Club Crete runs three to four days and covers a wide range of emergency scenarios: self-rescue, diver stress, first aid, emergency management, swimming and non-swimming assists, panicked diver response, underwater problems, missing diver procedures, surfacing an unconscious diver, in-water artificial respiration, and first aid for pressure-related accidents.
The course is run in Agia Pelagia, using the center's boats and local dive sites for the practical scenarios. It's a demanding schedule but the center describes it as good fun throughout — the training scenarios are realistic without being intimidating.
Prerequisites: Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent, minimum age 15, and completion of the React Right (First Aid/CPR) course or an equivalent sanctioned program within the past 24 months. The React Right course is also offered at the center if needed as a prerequisite.
Owner Dimitris Drakos holds PADI MSDT credentials among others, which includes rescue-level training experience across multiple agency frameworks.
