SSI designed the Computer Diving program to help certified divers become familiar with the features and benefits of using a dive computer. By understanding and knowing how to use all the functions of a dive computer, you will not only increase your dive safety but also make planning and executing your dive easier. The SSI Computer Diving program explores the functions and capabilities of different dive computers and explains how to use these functions before, during, and after your dive.

Registration is open as we make a 14 day special trip (10 days of diving) to the Philippines next January on a Aggressor Adventures live-a-board. for some great wreck, reef, muck diving for 12 or more experienced divers. This extended itinerary combines the Philippines’ most iconic wreck and reef diving regions. On 24 September 1944, a squadron of US bombers appeared above the Japanese fleet hiding in Coron’s natural harbour and opened fire. The bombers’ fierce attack was viciously victorious, sinking ten ships in just fifteen minutes. Now with a new lease on life, these ships are well-preserved underwater sites, a boon to scuba diving in the Philippines and contributing to Coron’s world reputation. This itinerary also includes diving at Apo Reef Natural Park, the largest coral reef in the Philippines, located in Occidental Mindoro, which is also the world's second-largest contiguous coral reef system after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This protected area features two large atoll-like reefs, a deep channel, and is a biodiversity hotspot with abundant corals and marine life, making it a premier dive destination and a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site.
