SSI Underwater Specialist

About the activity

How it works:

In SSI, you have the flexibility to combine multiple specialties on the same dive, allowing you to make the most of your time while on vacation. This approach lets you experience more without needing to spend extra time in the water or on the surface.

• Multiple Specialties in One Dive: SSI allows you to combine different specialties. This way, you maximize your dive time, learning and experiencing more in one go.
  
• Efficient Training: Combining specialties means you can complete the required dives for multiple courses in a shorter amount of time, giving you more opportunity to dive and explore. It’s ideal for vacationers who want to make the most of their limited time.
  
• Seamless Integration: SSI’s system is designed to be flexible, so the combination of specialties flows smoothly, ensuring your dive is not only enjoyable but also beneficial for your training.
