Ricardo (Wreck)

Most of the best dive sites in the sea are wrecks. These structures attract unusually high densities of marine life and give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in history. The Wreck Diving SSI specialty will enable you to become a safe and confident wreck diver. Through a combination of theory classes and protected environment sessions, you'll learn to safely perform non-penetration dives around wrecks and artificial reefs, to a depth of 30 meters. You'll also be able to put your wreck diving skills into practice on training dives in the wild. All this will enable you to enjoy wreck diving with confidence and get the most out of every dive. Upon completion of this program, you'll earn your Wreck Diving SSI specialty. Continue your adventures and become a wreck diver. Start online today!

The Divemaster program is the first step on an exciting journey. Earn the respect of your dive buddies and become a true ambassador for diving by completing the Divemaster program. To start, you'll need at least 40 logged and validated dives, as well as certifications in Deep Diving, Navigation, Night Diving & Limited Visibility, or a minimum of 5 logged/validated dives in each of these areas, plus the Diver Stress & Rescue specialty. Upon successful completion of the Divemaster program, you'll be certified as a Dive Guide. If you'd like to turn your passion into a profession - guiding certified divers, teaching ecology programs, assisting instructors or even becoming an instructor yourself - the next step is the Divemaster Upgrade, with a minimum of 60 logged/validated dives. You can upgrade to Divemaster level immediately or later by independently studying the Science of Diving module and passing the digital final exam. This will enable you to become an SSI professional.

The SSI Deep Diving Specialty will teach you everything you need to dive to depths between 18 and 40 meters, through a mix of theory sessions and open water dives. You'll learn how to safely plan and execute your deep diving adventures, and how to use computers and gas consumption calculations to get the most out of your deep dives. On completion of this course, you'll receive your Deep Diving SSI Specialty certification and be able to explore magnificent deep dive sites wherever you choose. This SSI Specialty is also a prerequisite for certain additional training courses, making it the next logical step in your diver training.

If you're not sure which specialty programs are right for you, take the SSI Advanced Open Water Diver program! You'll learn about deep diving, navigation and three other specialties before deciding on a full course in one of them. It's a great way to understand what Advanced Open Water Diver training is all about and how it can enrich your underwater adventures. During the Advanced Open Water Diver program, you'll experience five different specialties. After a detailed briefing with your SSI instructor, you'll make a training dive in open water for each specialty. This program gives you plenty of freedom to explore different areas of diving, and you'll be able to take the full training courses for your chosen specialties at any time, which will be credited towards your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
