SSI has developed the Computer Diving Program to help certified divers become familiar with the features and benefits of a dive computer. Knowing and using all the features of a dive computer not only increases your diving safety, but also makes it easier to plan and conduct your dive. The SSI Computer Diving Program shows you the features and capabilities of various dive computers and explains how to use these features before, during and after your dive. Often divers buy a computer and only use it for basic information. Get the most out of your investment by learning how to get the most out of your dive computer. Each participant will receive an extra 10% discount on the purchase of a new dive computer after completing the course!

An SSI Scuba Skills Update gets you back in the water and back to your former strength in no time. In this refresher course, you’ll review and practice the diving skills from your Open Water Diver program under the guidance of an SSI Professional. However, a Scuba Skills Update isn’t just a relaxed way to refresh your diving skills; it’s often a prerequisite for resuming your diving training after a break. If you don’t want to worry about your skills during your diving vacation and would rather enjoy the underwater world, take the course shortly before your trip. The course is also ideal for Open Water Diver students to solidify their diving skills before their open-water dives. Thanks to the flexible course duration, you can take your time and focus on your weaknesses.
