The SSI Emergency First Response pathway

SSI's React Right combines CPR, first aid, AED and emergency-oxygen training using free digital materials, certifying with a digital SSI credential that meets the first-aid requirement for Stress & Rescue.

Where you'll dive in Pondicherry

React Right is taught at the dive base in Pondicherry as a classroom-and-practical program, not an in-water course, but it underpins safe diving on the Bay of Bengal by preparing you for boat and surface emergencies. It supports the Stress & Rescue prerequisite.
