SSI Stress & Rescue / SSI Rescue

Blue Bottom Diving runs both the SSI Stress & Rescue and the full SSI Rescue course, covering emergency management and diver rescue techniques under the SSI system. The centre holds Instructor Training Centre status, which means the rescue training is delivered to the same standards applied in professional-level instruction.

The facility's setup supports the practical components: more than 200 metres of floor space, separate changing areas, and a classroom with audiovisual equipment for the scenario review sessions. Boats carry oxygen, first aid kits, and safety equipment as standard — the same gear students learn to use in rescue training is present on every dive.

Rescue is a prerequisite for Divemaster at Blue Bottom Diving, and the course is structured to connect directly into the professional track. First Aid training is also available at the centre for divers who need that component as part of their Rescue certification pathway.

The dive sites used for open-water rescue practice include varied conditions — La Caleta with its typical current and Cueva Neptuno's deeper profile both appear in the centre's rotation for advanced-level students, giving rescue candidates experience managing situations in realistic rather than controlled environments.
