SSI's comprehensive emergency response program covering CPR, first aid, and emergency oxygen administration. A prerequisite for Stress & Rescue — and an essential life skill for every diver.
SSI React Right is a complete emergency first response course covering primary assessment, CPR, AED use, first aid, and emergency oxygen administration for diving accidents. The course uses scenario-based training to build genuine confidence in responding to both diving and everyday medical emergencies.
React Right is a prerequisite for the SSI Stress & Rescue course, but its value extends well beyond diving certification requirements. The skills you learn are applicable to any emergency situation and can save lives. The course typically takes one day to complete and no prior medical training is required. Digital learning materials are available through the MySSI app.
SSI React Right is the first aid and CPR certification required for SSI Stress & Rescue and Dive Guide programs. Completing it in Komodo means you can immediately continue your professional diving pathway without delay.

Ask about SSI React RightNot all dive centers are created equal. Here's what to look for when choosing where to do your SSI course in Komodo.
Instructor Experience
Look for SSI instructors at Diamond or Elite certification level — the highest SSI instructor ratings. Ask how many certifications they've completed and whether they specialise in your target program.
Safety Standards
Ensure they have emergency oxygen, first aid kits, and DAN insurance on every boat. Ask about emergency protocols and equipment servicing schedules — SSI centres should follow SSI safe diving standards.
Equipment Quality
Ask to see the student equipment before committing. Modern, well-maintained gear from recognised brands (Scubapro, Mares, Cressi) ensures a better and safer learning experience.
Group Size
Smaller student groups mean better instructor attention and faster skill development. Look for centres offering 2–4 students per instructor rather than filling sessions to maximum capacity.
Boat Quality
Long days at sea require comfortable, well-equipped boats. Check for shade, toilets, safety gear, and a clean dive deck. A good boat makes your training days significantly more enjoyable.
Reviews & Reputation
Read recent reviews focusing on instructor communication, patience, and how the centre handles students who progress at different speeds. Consistent high ratings over many reviews are a strong signal.
