Open Water Instructor integration of instructors from other organizations

Wetsuit diving opens up a whole new world of possibilities, exploring dive sites in winter when water temperatures drop. Dry suit diving also lets you stay warm on repeated dive days, when you don't want to spend your time getting in and out of a cold wet suit. The Dry Suit Diving SSI specialty program is the best way to become a dry suit diver, and teaches you all the knowledge and techniques you need to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit. You'll learn how to use this specific piece of equipment, made up of a drysuit and a diving jacket, what its advantages are and how to deal with emergency situations, which are specific to this type of diving. On completion of this course, you will be awarded the Dry Suit Diving SSI specialty certification.

As a Nitrox diver, you can increase your dive times and safety margins, and shorten your surface intervals - so you can spend more time diving and less time waiting! In this program, you'll learn new skills and increase your diving knowledge while learning to plan and dive safely with enriched air mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen. On completion of this program, you will be awarded SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% certification.
