Course Description:
Academics:
The SSI DEEP DIVING manual is designed to provide the knowledge necessary for the additional demands of deep diving. Our course is normally conducted in conjunction with the SSI WRECK DIVING class, which meets for one 3:30 session. Should an individual desire to take the DEEP DIVING class as a single specialty, we will schedule it for the first 1:45 of the DEEP/WRECK course.
The DEEP/WRECK class is scheduled at least one weeknight monthly from 6:00pm until 9:30pm (6:00 until 7:45 for Deep only). To receive the DEEP/WRECK specialty c-card participants in the course must complete three DEEP/WRECK dives, of which at least two exceed 80 feet, and to have logged at least twelve open water dives. For DEEP DIVING as a single specialty, participants must complete two dives of at least 80 feet.
The SSI Training Materials and the Home Study program are designed so that you can learn the academics at your own pace when it is convenient for you. You can complete the academics online when you sign up for SSI’s Online Training program, and then attend review sessions at your favorite SSI Dive Center.
