Deep Diving

Deep Diving

Discover the depths: SSI Deep Diving - Your key to hidden places in the lake - For many, the real adventure begins at 18 meters. Where the water becomes calmer and old wrecks or fascinating steep walls await, you need more than just courage: you need the right knowledge and perfect technique. With the SSI Deep Diving course, we safely expand your horizons to up to 40 metres. We prepare you not only to reach the depths, but to master and enjoy them safely. Why deep diving in the lake is the best school: Expanding boundaries: Reach dive sites that remain out of reach for open water divers. Focus on safety: Learn how to deal with the "deep rush" (nitrogen narcosis) and perfect your gas management. Technique & planning: Learn all about special equipment for deep dives and the importance of redundancy. Real experience: Those who dive deep in the lake master depths all over the world with ease
