When Seconds Count, Training Matters
Medical emergencies don't send calendar invites. A colleague collapses at work. A child chokes at a restaurant. A diver surfaces unconscious. In these moments, the difference between life and death often comes down to one question: does someone nearby know what to do?
React Right is SSI's comprehensive emergency response programme, covering everything from basic first aid to emergency oxygen administration. Whether you need certification for professional requirements or simply want the confidence to help in an emergency — this is the training that prepares you to act.

Who Needs React Right?
Diving Professionals
React Right is mandatory for Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, and Instructor certifications. A prerequisite for professional diving careers.
Lifeguards
CPR and first aid certification is required for all lifeguard candidates. React Right fulfils this requirement completely.
Workplace Requirements
Many employers require designated first aiders. React Right meets EU workplace first aid standards.
Boat Crew & Marine Workers
If you work on or around water, emergency oxygen and aquatic first aid are essential — often required by maritime regulations.
