JUNIOR OPEN WATER DIVER

Ice diving in Lake Weissensee/Austria: In winter, Lake Weissensee offers the largest prepared and permanently frozen natural ice surface in Europe and is therefore predestined for ice diving, one of the most exciting and adventurous opportunities in diving. The ice regularly grows to a thickness of 40 cm and more. The water under the ice is crystal clear and offers incredible visibility of up to 30 meters, as the suspended particles sink due to the closed ice cover. The sun shining through the ice sheet refracts in the ice and conjures up fascinating light effects in the clear water. With a bit of luck, mirror ice awaits you and you can watch ice skaters and walkers through the ice cover.

The best way to dry suit dive is the SSI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course. Here you will gain the necessary knowledge and learn all the skills you need to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit.

The Christmas dive with barbecue and mulled wine is a very special tradition for me that I enjoy every year. It's a festive event where I immerse myself in the cold season and enjoy the underwater world in a winter atmosphere. I meet up with other enthusiastic divers at a selected body of water, which is festively decorated and creates a very special atmosphere. After the dive, I look forward to the barbecue station, where the smell of freshly prepared sausages and other delicacies fills the air and creates a cozy atmosphere. I can then warm up at the mulled wine stand with a hot mulled wine or punch to chase away the cold. While I enjoy my mulled wine, I chat with the other participants about their experiences underwater. This mixture of diving, barbecuing and mulled wine makes the Christmas dive a unique experience that delights both adventurers and connoisseurs like me every year.

Diving skills easily become rusty and after a while you lose confidence in your own abilities. An SSI Scuba Skills Update will get you back in the water and back to your old strength in no time at all. In the refresher course, you repeat and practise the diving skills from your Open Water Diver program under the guidance of an SSI professional. However, a scuba skills update is not only a relaxed way of refreshing your diving skills, but often also a prerequisite for resuming diving training after a break. If you don't want to worry about your skills on your diving vacation and would rather enjoy the underwater world instead, take the course shortly before your trip. The course is also ideal for Open Water Diver students to consolidate their diving skills before open water dives. The flexible course duration allows you to take your time and concentrate on your weaknesses.
