Deep

In the SSI Deep Diver course we go into depth (literally). Like all our courses, we start with theory again. You will receive the teaching materials as usual via our online learning environment or in the MySSI app on your phone. This allows you to prepare for the theory lesson at home.

During the theory lesson you will learn how to plan deep dives safely. We will discuss topics such as minimum required air supply, nitrogen narcosis, decompression limits and making a solid dive plan. In the swimming pool we will work on the inwater skills. We practice making ascents and descents in the horizontal position, backroll entry and the air-sharing ascent. We also spend a lot of time releasing the so-called SMB (Surface Marker Buoy) while we hang still in the water. Then of course it is time for practice. We make the deepest dives of this course in the NEMO33 diving tower in Brussels, Belgium. In the heated water and the good visibility of the diving tower, we can safely become acquainted with greater depths and experience the effects of the depth firsthand. There is also 1 outdoor dive in Vinkeveen, where you show in real open water conditions that you have mastered all theory and practice.

We always recommend the SSI Deep Diver course as the last specialty of the SSI Advanced Open Water Package. Solid basic skills and good buoyancy control are absolutely necessary for this course!
