The Open Water Diver course is the best known and most booked diving course in the world and has safely introduced millions of people to the underwater world. Becoming an SSI Open Water Diver is the best way to start diving.

In this course you will learn everything you need to start your diving adventure. Just like your driving license, the OWD course has different sections that you complete in sequence and/or in parallel.

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.

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.

You have a valid diving license, but haven't dived for some time, or just don't feel safe? Would you like to book a specialty, but would like to refresh your knowledge beforehand? Or have you completed your diving license abroad and would like to deepen your knowledge and skills, especially in the area of equipment, before diving in European waters and lakes?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then this is the right course for you! The Scuba Skills Update program is perfect for refreshing your knowledge and repeating or expanding your basic equipment skills as required.

The Indoor Diver course is a great way to start diving in the winter and then practice your skills independently until spring. It is identical to the Open Water Divers course and differs only in that all open water dives are done in an indoor center, where you will learn everything you need to start your diving adventure. Just like your driver's license, the Indoor Diver course has different sections that you complete one after the other and/or in parallel.you can find more information on our website or just give us a call.

Diving accidents have many causes and stress and subsequent panic are the last two in the chain of potential triggers, so what should a responsible diver look out for in themselves and others before diving without being know-it-all or judgmental? Is it possible to recognize potentially dangerous situations before they arise and defuse them in advance? How do I behave correctly if something is wrong with my diving partner or a stranger? How do I deal with problems on the surface or underwater with myself or others? How do I and others deal with stress and what do I do if stress turns into panic?

Have you ever noticed that even your familiar surroundings look different at night or in poor visibility? And I'm sure you know that animals that are on land during the day sleep at night, but who or what is on the move then? dives with limited visibility can be an adventure both during the day and at night! Night dives allow you to discover things you will never see during the day. Many sea creatures hide in bright light or sleep during the day and only become active at night. Many corals also only feed at night and so the reef appears completely different at night than during the day, but no less attractive. you can find more information on our website or simply give us a call with no obligation.

During the Open Water Diver program you have already learned the basics of underwater navigation, but most people simply dive after the dive pro. Knowing where you are at all times is extremely important for your safety and well-being underwater. Good navigation skills will enable you and your dive buddy to navigate safely from the beginning to the end of the dive.

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.

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!

The SSI Advanced Open Water Diver program allows you to gain new, interesting and practical experience. You can choose five dives individually from a variety of specialties without having to take a full course in those specialties.
If you are not sure how you want to develop as a diver, the SSI Advanced Adventurer course is the best way to improve your diving skills and experience and to find out which specialties might interest you. If one of the dives is from the Deep Diving section, you will extend your depth limit to 30 meters. Your dives will of course be credited if you decide to complete one or more of the specialties. If you choose the right five dives, you can extend your depth limit at the same time. Would you like to know more?

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.

How many times have you wanted to continue your dive, but unfortunately your no-decompression time was reached and you had to surface slowly, or do you just wish you had more safety margins in terms of nitrogen saturation on your dives? Nitrogen is the regulating factor for all dives in recreational diving, as you already know from your Open Water Diver course. Nitrox refers to all gases with an oxygen content of more than 21%. The higher proportion of oxygen reduces the nitrogen content in the breathing gas, puts less strain on the body and significantly shortens your desaturation times. you can find more information on our website or simply give us a call with no 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. Perhaps you now understand why every diver should, sooner or later, have their own equipment. In addition to the questions mentioned above, the SSI Equipment Techniques program deals with the selection, correct adjustment and setting of your Total Diving System, whether rented or owned, you can find more information on our website or just give us a call without obligation.
