Specialty Course Night Diving and Limited Visibility

Maybe you want to take the next step and share your enthusiasm for diving with those who have stayed behind on the surface, or maybe you just want to capture and preserve your favorite underwater moments, and you've already marveled at the fantastic fauna and flora and the tectonic diversity that the underwater world has to offer. But how do you explain your enthusiasm for it to your friends and family? Taking underwater videos and/or photos is the perfect way to capture your great diving experiences and adventures in sound and vision, and as with any new piece of equipment, diving with an underwater camera requires additional training. You need to understand how to dive safely with your camera system, what to consider when interacting with your subjects and what effect light, visibility, etc. have on a perfect shot.In the SSI Photo and Video Specialty you will learn the skills to dive safely with an underwater camera. In addition to the correct use and handling of your camera system, you will learn everything about digital photography underwater and also how to correctly compose a shot and then edit it digitally.All courses are also offered outside of the published dates.

Have you ever seen someone lose their mask or fins when they jumped into the water? Or have you ever been asked if you can help retrieve a small object that has gone overboard? Oceans, rivers and lakes are often in motion and things are sometimes lost or deliberately hidden underwater. Finding and recovering such objects is an exercise for advanced divers. It requires thorough planning and careful consideration. Without proper preparation, a search can take much longer than it should or even fail completely. The majority of divers do not even have the slightest idea where to start a search and recovery operation or how to organize one. That's why you need special training that open water divers and many advanced divers don't have. You can find more information on our website or simply give us a call with no obligation. We look forward to seeing you!

Haven't we all unintentionally been underwater alone - not diving solo. How often has your buddy been out of reach or you've been so distracted while taking photos that you've lost your buddy? Although normally diving with a buddy team partner, there may be reasons why experienced divers choose to dive solo (e.g. underwater photography). It is more common to be involuntarily separated from your buddy while diving. During the SSI Independent Diver course you will learn about the potential risks of solo diving and develop the necessary skills and abilities to dive independently, responsibly, autonomously and safely, while becoming a stronger buddy partner or team member on your dives. You will practise how to help yourself in different situations and learn how to adjust and check your equipment for solo dives. you can find more information on our website or simply give us a call without obligation.

Diving with unfamiliar equipment is just as uncomfortable as driving a strange car. How do you actually know that your rented equipment is in perfect condition and works properly? Are diving centers abroad subject to the same rules as here in Germany? only diving equipment that fits correctly and works properly will make you feel comfortable and enjoy your dive. At the end of the day, we are diving in an element that is hostile to human life, so you should not ignore the safety aspect of your equipment, as your life ultimately depends on it.

Don't feel confident in the water yet and are unhappy with your diving position and air consumption? Would you like to stop worrying before every check dive and finally float relaxed over the reefs instead of plowing through them? To become a good diver who is relaxed underwater, perhaps the most important aspect is perfecting your buoyancy control. Good divers know that good buoyancy control reduces breathing gas consumption, reduces the amount of weight and effort required and makes it easy to maintain depth. This has a massive impact on your well-being under water, you prevent your own injuries and also protect aquatic life.

Occasionally you see more and more divers who no longer dive with one or two tanks on their back (backmount), but carry the tanks on their side (sidemount). But why do they do this and are there any advantages over the other system? sidemount diving was developed by wreck and cave divers, for whom the most hydrodynamic position possible was important in order to fit through narrow and small passages. In the meantime, more and more divers are discovering the advantages of this diving style, which is characterized by more relaxed buoyancy control and better freedom of movement without the tank on the back. As this system requires different handling than conventional systems, it is important to learn how to use the sidemount system correctly and safely.

The SSI Scuba Diver is designed for those who do not have enough time to complete the full Open Water Diver program. The program corresponds to the first half of the Open Water Diver program and can be upgraded to the SSI Open Water Diver through additional training and theory units. What can I do after completing the course? The course provides you with the necessary training and experience to be able to dive safely in open waters under the supervision of a dive professional, as you learn all the important diving skills, knowledge and equipment. However, this certificate does not allow you to dive alone with a dive buddy. Throughout your training and afterwards, you will be accompanied by an experienced diving professional who will make sure that you feel safe and comfortable and that nothing happens to you. Certified scuba divers may only dive to a depth of 12 meters when accompanied by a diving professional. After successfully completing your course, you will receive the SSI Scuba Diver certification.
