The SSI Rescue Diver pathway

SSI's Stress & Rescue emphasises prevention, uses free digital materials, lets you repeat skills until mastered, and issues an SSI digital card.

Where you'll dive in Havelock Island

Drills take place in Havelock's flat shallow bays and on easy reef profiles like Nemo Reef, with practice depths of 5-12 metres in clear warm water. The Andaman Sea's calm in-season conditions are ideal for surface management, while sheltered sites stay diveable through the monsoon. Reef life such as clownfish and fusiliers keeps the training scenic.
