The course consists of the following sections: Academic material you will receive from the dive center. On your SSI App (phone or tablet), you can study on mySSIApp online whenever YOU have time. You will also need to review 10 questions per chapter to check your understanding of the topic. A final exam must also be taken. You can study the academic course material before arriving in Dahab. Of course, we will review the important parts of the academic material with you once you start the course. The practical part of the course includes 6 confined-water sessions in shallow water. During these sessions, your instructor will brief you on the skills, explain them, and demonstrate them underwater first, then ask each student to repeat the skills one by one. We offer a personalized approach and let you practice each skill until you master every single one. In addition, you will complete 4 open-water dives during the course. Open-Water Dives 1 and 2 will be conducted to a maximum depth of 12 meters. Open Water Dives 3 and 4 will be conducted to a maximum depth of 18 meters. During these dives, you will need to demonstrate some of the skills you have learned to your instructor. Optional Dive #5 may be used to practice specific diving skills again.
