Welcome to our dive site Our Specialty Course of the Month
Each month we offer a specific specialty course at reduced pricing and list it here and in the training center. Specialty training courses help you reach higher levels of certification, improve skills and knowledge, and are most often taken simply because you are interested in a special area of diving. To become a dive professional takes a varied set of dive skills and knowledge and that begins with Specialty Courses.SSI Specialty Diver is your first step toward becoming an SSI Master Diver, and can begin as soon as you complete your Open Water Diver training. By completing any two SSI Specialty programs that interest you, and logging 12 open water dives, you will automatically receive the SSI Specialty Diver recognition rating along with your SSI Specialty program certifications.

| Most of scuba diving is conducted with a dive buddy, but sometimes you just need to be alone. |

 Without a doubt every one should always dive with a buddy for safe scuba diving. However, we recognize there are times when underwater photographers, Dive Professionals, Wreck and Cave divers are too far from a dive buddy to get assistance and this course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to dive alone when that happens. You must be at least 18. If you are a Dive Master you can enter this program with proof of 75 logged dives totaling 50 hours or more, otherwise we want to see 100 logged dives or more for our program. Regardless, we also want to see you have the specialties as well as 5 logged dives in Navigation, Night/Limited Visibility and Deep diving, as well as hold your Rescue Diver Specialty. Dive Masters and above generally meet those requirements. We will enroll you in the SDI Solo Diver Digital eLearning (we find it to be the best program available) and we will provide you with their eLearning crew pack consisting of special dive slates and some other material. Then you will do one pool session to demonstrate your self-help skills and three open water training dives varying in depth to a maximum of 80 feet. You'll have a classroom session to discuss various equipment needed and configurations with your own dive equipment. Your open water dives are designed to put stress on you, several skills requiring gas management and it's recording during and after the dive. Skills of switching to your backup gas, extra dive mask, SMB deployment and more. So if you meet the above, come see our Training Director to discuss the requirements for getting certified to be a little too far from your dive buddy or when the need to make a solo dive - or do it now by clicking the enroll now button below. |
