The ocean is filled with dive sites, but many of the best ones can only be accessed by boat. If you want to discover these incredible dive sites, become an SSI boat diver. It is the best way to learn to dive safely and with confidence from different types of boats. As a boat diver, you will be able to explore offshore dive sites that attract schooling pelagic and marine megafauna not found closer to shore. 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.
