Upon completion, you will earn an SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 40% certification.

You can experience the excitement of liveaboard diving anywhere in the world, fill your day with diving away from the crowds, and cruise along as the sun goes down. The SSI Boat Diving Specialty program, using online training and open-water diving sessions, is the best way to learn. This program teaches you all the skills and techniques you need to dive safely and comfortably from boats, including small personal craft and liveaboards.
