The SSI Altitude Specialty program provides divers with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely plan and conduct dives in waters above 300 meters above sea level. When diving at higher altitudes, the environmental conditions change significantly, especially due to the lower atmospheric pressure. These changes affect the physics of diving, nitrogen uptake and decompression planning and require appropriate preparation. During the course, participants learn the theoretical principles of altitude diving, including the effects of altitude on pressure conditions, no-decompression times, repetitive dives and surface intervals. Special emphasis is placed on the correct adjustment and use of dive computers and the planning of safe dive profiles under altitude conditions. In addition, important safety aspects such as acclimatization, travel planning and correct behaviour before and after diving at altitude are covered. The practical training dives give participants the opportunity to directly apply what they have learned. They practice planning and executing high altitude dives, controlled ascents, precise buoyancy control and the safe handling of often cold and challenging environmental conditions. After completing the program, participants will be able to plan and execute dives in mountain lakes and other highland waters independently and safely. A valid Open Water Diver certification or equivalent is required for participation. The program is aimed at divers who want to expand their skills and dive safely in alpine or high-altitude waters.
