GO DEEPER
Going deeper isn't just about continuing a few meters lower. Gas consumption, planning, available time and several dive parameters change with depth. SSI Deep Diving teaches you to gradually approach these dives with the right knowledge, planning and techniques.
Learn how to prepare the planned depth, time, gas reserve, dive profile and conditions, then clearly share the plan and communications with your buddy.
Consumption increases and no-decompression limits may decrease. The training addresses the effects of pressure and the importance of remaining attentive to your environment and your condition.
Work on your buoyancy, your position, your ascent speed, monitoring your instruments and communicating with your buddy.
PROGRESS
Each dive builds on the next. Reaching the upper limit of a range is never automatic: progression depends on comfort, conditions, applicable standards and the instructor's decision.
DIVE 1 · 18 TO 30 M
First step to apply planning principles and begin to evolve progressively deeper.
DIVE 2 · 24 TO 30 M
Consolidate planning, dive management and control in the deep zone.
DIVE 3 · 30 TO 40 M
Last stage of progression, carried out only when the level of the diver and the conditions allow it to continue in complete safety within the framework of SSI standards.
Up to 40m
The SSI Deep Diving specialty prepares the diver to perform deep dives within the limits of their training, up to 40 meters when conditions, experience and applicable standards allow.
Forty meters represents the maximum training depth for the specialty, and not a guaranteed goal for each dive.
The actual depth depends on your progress, comfort, conditions, applicable standards and the instructor's decision.
SSI Deep Diving remains recreational diving training. It does not provide training in planned decompression, technical mixtures, trimix, Extended Range, or exceeding SSI recreational limits.
This training does not constitute a technical diving qualification and does not sell any violation of recreational limits.

Your instructor is dedicated only to your reservation and your training is not mixed with outside clients.
You can book alone, as a couple, as a family or with a group formed together.
The instructor adapts the organization and progression to the experience, comfort and objectives of the participants in your reservation.

An instructor is dedicated to the reservation; this does not mean one instructor per diver.
KNOWLEDGE AND EQUIPMENT

The three dives and their educational progression are part of the SSI Deep Diving program.

The equipment used must be adapted to the training and local conditions. The inclusion of specific equipment, computer or configuration is not announced until confirmed.
