Course description:
To develop a solid awareness and ability for diving, the SSI dive courses have three stages. The first stage is theoretical. It has an online and offline form. It can be done at any time and place a trainee prefers. A trainee will find out what influence the underwater environment has on the human body, what equipment people need to stay underwater and how to use it.
Then we move to practice. There are six modules in a pool. During these six modules, the trainees have to try and apply the gained skills in situations close to real in a pool or closed waters. A professional instructor of SSI open water diver course will assist you with the diving equipment and help you to feel natural in such conditions. It also will teach you how to breathe correctly, how to clean your mask underwater, what to do in case of emergency, etc.
The third stage consists of four divings with SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) into open water. A trainee will sharpen its skills to dive with a mask and a snorkel, to assemble the equipment, and do exercises on water. But remember the instructor will not teach you on this stage. The maximum diving depth is 18 meters provided that a trainee reached the age of 15. The duration will vary from 16 to 32 hours.
