Go Deeper with SSI Specialty Courses

SSI Specialty Courses are the next step after Open Water: deeper sites, wrecks, night dives, better buoyancy, Nitrox and overhead-environment training. Already certified? You're in the right place. If not, start with Open Water Diver first, since every specialty here builds on it.

Choose one, build a package around your trip, or ask us which courses match your experience and the dives you want to do. All of them include your SSI certification, full equipment, tanks, weights and an instructor throughout, no hidden extras, no separate rental fees.
