Science of Diving - Fully Online Course

Science of Diving - Fully Online Course

Knowing how to dive is one thing, but an in-depth understanding of the why behind it is an essential component for a well-rounded dive education. The SSI Science of Diving program provides an extensive study of physics, physiology, and chemistry and how they affect the human body while scuba diving. The course also touches on important things to know about the marine environment and takes a closer look into diving equipment. This specialty is required training for most SSI Professional programs, as well as some Extended Range programs, and is an essential way to expand your dive knowledge. We offer the Science of Diving completely online for those wishing to learn from the comfort of their own home while on those long surface intervals between dive holidays. This can be done one of two ways: 1. Independent Learning: you can purchase the digital kit from us and complete all eLearning and the exam online to earn your certificate completely independently. 2. Virtual Classroom Session: complete the eLearning followed by a virtual Zoom session with one of our Instructors to hear their expertise on the subject and delve further into the course materials. Engaging discussions and questions are encouraged and each Zoom session will be arranged between the Instructor and the student(s) on a date/time that suits all parties. Upon completion, you will be halfway to earning the coveted SSI Divemaster rating and earn the SSI Science of Diving specialty certification.
