Currently, most first aid certifications require separate courses, and scheduling the classes might be difficult. However, SSI offers a Corrective Response Course that covers first aid, CPR, oxygen supply, and AED support. It takes one day of practical training, and we have combined this course with the Corrective Response Course into a three-day program to make it easier for divers to arrange their schedule!
Yes! As long as your certification agency meets the standards of the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), your certification is valid internationally. Therefore, you can choose the specialty courses you want to take at your current diving level!
SSI and PADI are both internationally recognized diving systems. Both systems adhere to the standards of the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), so whether you take course with SSI or PADI, the certification you receive will be equally valid worldwide. For beginners, choosing a good dive shop and instructor to guide you is more important than selecting between the two systems.
A good diving system should not only have sufficient international recognition but also consistently update its training standards and materials. It should offer diverse advanced education options for divers to continually improve their skills and knowledge. Whether it's scuba diving, freediving, or mermaiding, SSI is considered by the Peninsula Hain coaching team to be a dedicated and comprehensive international diving education system.
