SSI React Right – First Aid, CPR, O2 & AED

React Right covers essential emergency skills such as First Aid, CPR, AED, and Oxygen Administration. It's foundational emergency training suitable for both divers and non-divers.

Diver Stress & Rescue is a specialized diver-specific course, teaching recognition, prevention, and handling of stress and diving emergencies through realistic rescue scenarios.

At XR Explorers, both private and group classes follow the same high training standards and DIR system, but there are key differences in experience and focus:

Private One-on-One Class:
This is the most personalized experience you can have. You’ll work directly with an instructor at your own pace, getting undivided attention and tailored coaching to focus on specific skills or areas where you want to excel. It’s ideal if you prefer a flexible schedule, want to progress faster, or value a private learning environment.
Many divers choose one-on-one training to maximize their skills, build confidence, or because they want to learn in an environment with no distractions.

Group Class:
In a group setting, you’ll train alongside other students, working as a team and learning together. It’s a more social environment and a great way to meet fellow divers. Class sizes are kept intentionally small at XR Explorers to ensure quality instruction and individual feedback, even in a group setting.

Private classes offer the most customized learning experience, while group classes provide a collaborative environment at a lower cost. Both give you premium DIR training, but your choice depends on the experience you want.

Our instructors are more than just certified—they are highly experienced professionals in both recreational and technical diving, including deep exploration and cave diving. You’ll be learning from divers who operate at the highest levels, and who are dedicated to ensuring your success. Our small class sizes guarantee personalized, one-on-one coaching, so you build confidence and mastery from day one.

DIR-Based, Precision Training.

We exclusively teach the Doing It Right (DIR) system—the most advanced, streamlined, and safety-focused approach to diving in the world. DIR training requires more in-depth instruction, more water time, and greater attention to detail, which is why our programs are longer and more comprehensive. The result? You’ll finish with superior buoyancy, perfect trim, and flawless team diving skills—setting you up for a lifetime of safe, efficient, and enjoyable diving.

We Use Only the Best Equipment. Period.

While other dive centers use basic, entry-level gear, we provide our students with the same equipment trusted by professional explorers. Every XR Explorers student trains with Halcyon dive systems and Seacraft DPVs, the world’s best and most advanced scooters. This isn’t casual rental gear; it’s top-tier equipment used by elite divers on deep exploration dives around the world. You’ll train with it, master it, and we recommend it for your future diving because it delivers unmatched performance, reliability, and safety.

Long-Term Success, Not Just a Certification.

At XR Explorers, we’re not just interested in helping you pass a course—we’re preparing you for a lifetime of diving at the highest level. Our training lays the groundwork for more advanced exploration, whether that’s deep diving, sidemount, DPV, or even technical and cave diving. You’ll be ready to progress with confidence and competence, knowing you were trained the right way, with the right gear.

Smaller Classes. Tailored Training.

We keep our classes intentionally small to provide maximum in-water time, focused personal attention, and a customized learning experience. You’ll never be rushed or overlooked—you’ll be coached and mentored every step of the way by instructors who are invested in your development.

The XR Explorers Difference.

This is not recreational, factory-style training. This is elite-level instruction, using professional equipment, and methodical training philosophy, designed for divers who want to lead, explore, and master their craft.

When you choose XR Explorers, you’re making an investment in your diving future—with the best instructors, the best training system, and the best equipment on the market.
