React Right

The Fun Part

Challenge yourself and take a step toward your emergency preparedness. Through the React Right course you can increase your confidence by understanding how to deal with diving related injuries and learn the proper techniques to assist others in CPR and First Aid. The React Right certification is also a prerequisite for obtaining your Stress & Rescue specialty. 

Who should take this program?

This program is beneficial to anyone, no matter how far you are in your diving journey. Anyone who wants to be better prepared for any future emergencies and is at least 12 years old can register in the program. Through the React Right specialty a diver can increase their readiness to respond to a medical emergency situation, be it diving related or not. 

By the time you are certified, you will be able to act as an emergency first responder, provide first aid and CPR, administer oxygen and provide AED support in a medical emergency. 

What will you learn?

React Right is SSI’s emergency first response course that provides you with the training and knowledge you need to act as a first responder in a medical emergency. It is a 2 day flexible program with an emphasis on primary emergency assessment, first aid (for adults, children and infants), CPR and primary stabilization techniques. You will also learn about oxygen administration in diving emergencies and the basics of using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). 

Through the combination of academic sessions and practical training sessions simulating real life emergency scenarios, this program will give you the tools and confidence you need for emergency response. As one of the foremost international CPR and first aid training companies, React Right gives you the confidence to respond to medical emergencies — not just in the diving world, but in your everyday world with your family, friends, neighbours and coworkers too.

What freediving gear will you use?

None! This is a dry course. Instead you will be introduced to a variety of emergency medical materials and equipment such as limb stabilizing tools, oxygen tanks and masks, AEDs and much more. 

What learning materials will you need?

When you register in the course you will receive access to SSI online materials for the React Right Specialty. These combine text and video content for more effective learning and can be accessed through SSI Website/App and be downloaded for offline use. For the best experience these should be completed prior to in-person training. 

The in-person academic and practical sessions will use a non-stressful learning environment to further emphasize the skills needed and the simple steps to follow for emergency care. Get in touch now to start your online learning!
