Essential Skills for Work and Water Safety

These programs suit divers, resort staff, boat crews, swimming instructors, water sports teams and anyone who wants to build strong emergency and rescue skills. All certifications are recognised worldwide and required for several SSI professional pathways.

Required for Divemaster and ITC

React Right is a mandatory prerequisite for the SSI Divemaster program and Instructor Training Course. Complete it in Khao Lak and tick it off your professional pathway checklist.

Confidence in Real Emergencies

Boat crews, resort animators, pool attendants and anyone who spends time around water as part of their job. The Lifeguard certification covers real prevention and rescue scenarios, not just theory.

Valid Internationally for 24 Months

React Right is a valuable skill regardless of your diving level. First Aid, CPR and AED training applies far beyond the ocean and is useful in everyday life as well as in a resort or dive center context.

We can combine Lifeguard and React Right with your diving schedule.

Both courses fit neatly into any stay on Khao Lak. React Right takes one day. The Lifeguard program takes a little longer. Tell us your dates and what you need and we will fit it all in around your fun dives or pro training.
