SSI React Right Course in Koh Phi Phi
React Right in Phi Phi is a dry SSI first aid course completed in one session. The 4,500 THB programme is required before the Rescue course.
About the programme
The SSI React Right course at DPM Diving in Koh Phi Phi is a one-day dry course (no in-water sessions) that teaches emergency first response skills applicable to diving and non-diving situations. It is the standard first aid prerequisite for the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course and, together with Stress and Rescue, for the SSI Divemaster programme. The course covers Primary Assessment, First Aid and CPR Skills, Primary Stabilization Techniques, and two optional components: Oxygen Administration in Diving Emergencies and Automated External Defibrillation (AED) basics.
The format combines self-study (working through SSI course materials and knowledge review questions at your own pace) with a practical classroom session led by an SSI React Right Instructor, including scenario-based skill drills. On completion you receive the SSI React Right Provider accreditation, valid for two years and renewable to maintain active status. The 4,500 THB fee covers all course materials, the practical session and instructor time.
A standard SSI medical questionnaire is completed before the course. Note: React Right is a foundational first response programme for recreational divers and does not replace EMT or higher comprehensive emergency medical training.
Why do React Right in Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi Don is a small island with no roads and no hospital, and the dive sites are between twenty and sixty minutes away by boat. That is precisely the setting where first aid, CPR and oxygen administration stop being an abstract exercise: the person who reacts in the first minutes on the boat is the one who matters.
The course is run entirely at our centre in Tonsai Bay, the main village, so no boat day is used up and it can be slotted into an afternoon between dives. Most divers here take it as the step before Diver Stress and Rescue, which needs it as a prerequisite.
Dive sites are chosen on the day according to weather and sea conditions.

Is the React Right course required before the Rescue course in Phi Phi?
