Curious but still undecided? Then take the opportunity of a trial dive to make your decision! In addition to a theoretical introduction (function and handling of the equipment, explanation of important underwater hand signals), you will gain your first experience in and under water under the guidance of a diving instructor in the swimming pool. Intensive supervision and sufficient time for your first steps are a matter of course. The requirements for the trial dive are a minimum age of 8 years, good health and swimwear. Everything else (equipment, mask, fins) is provided and is included in the price, as is entry to the swimming pool.

Regain a sense of safety and confidence after a long break from diving by refreshing your diving skills from the Open Water Diver course. Knowledge: During your SSI Scuba Skills Update program, a Dive Leader will briefly review the theoretical knowledge from the Open Water Diver course with you and also impart other useful knowledge. Skills: During the SSI Scuba Skills Update you will get the opportunity to review all the skills you have already learned during the Open Water Diver program. Equipment: The SSI Scuba Skills Update is perfect for reviewing basic equipment handling skills, making adjustments to new equipment and practicing its correct handling. This will prepare you to experience future dives in local waters in an even more relaxed way and the fear of the next "check dive" at your vacation destination will also be a thing of the past. minimum number of participants: 2

This course is a basic introduction to these areas. It explores how organisms interact with each other and their environment, how energy flows through individual communities, and how oceanic ecosystems are interconnected. Immerse yourself in this course and find out what your role is in the changing ecology of marine ecosystems. At the end of the course you will receive the SSI Marine Ecology Specialty certification.

"Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression times to take photos or explore wrecks? Or do you simply want more safety in terms of decompression when diving?" Nitrox allows you to do just that. Due to the lower nitrogen content in the breathing gas, the body is also less stressed and desaturation times are drastically reduced. In the ENRICHED AIR NITROX program, you will learn the rules that must be taken into account when planning dives and using Nitrox, as well as the gas analysis of your tank. "Nitrox for free" is already available at many diving centres abroad. This means that you do not have to pay extra for the special gas mixture. However, this does require the appropriate training, i.e. every diving center wants to see a certificate. Only then are you allowed to dive with Nitrox. Successful completion of this course entitles you to dive with Nitrox up to an oxygen content of 40%. Minimum number of participants: 2
