Go deeper into the diving you love

SSI Specialty Courses are the next step after the Open Water Course. Build confidence, improve your skills and unlock the dives that make Gozo special: deeper sites, wrecks, night dives, better buoyancy, Nitrox and overhead-environment training.

Choose one specialty, build a package around your trip, or ask us which courses best match your experience and the dives you want to do.
