With the SSI Deep Diving Specialty, you will gain the knowledge and techniques needed to dive safely to depths between 18 and 40 metres, enabling you to unlock a world of amazing dive sites. Through a combination of theoretical lessons and practical open water dives, you'll be equipped with the essential tools to navigate the deeper parts of the ocean.
The SSI Deep Diving Specialty course is structured to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your deep dives. The course begins with five academic sessions where you will cover the fundamentals of deep diving, including dive planning, safety protocols, and the effects of depth on the body.
