About this programme

Be prepared to respond with confidence when it matters most. Our 3-day SSI React Right package is designed for divers who want to develop essential knowledge and skills for recognizing and responding to diving-related emergencies, while strengthening their overall safety and preparedness. Our dive sites lie in the crystal-clear waters of the Athenian Riviera, where the Mediterranean Sea stays warm and inviting even through the winter months.

The SSI React Right program provides practical training in emergency response, first aid, CPR, and other essential skills relevant to the diving environment. Training is conducted under the guidance of qualified SSI professionals, with the program arranged according to the training center’s schedule.

Practical Notes
