SSI Independent Diver Specialty Course

How experienced you need to be to dive alone? Do you dive alone as an instructor? These are the common questions new divers will ask their instructor. The SSI Independent Diver specialty course is a course designed to train divers to dive independently, without compromising safety factor. 

“Self-sufficiency” will be the keyword of this course. We will train you to always have a strong awareness to your personal and environmental condition. You learn how to do proper dive planning, observe and adhere to personal limitations, and accident prevention in and out of water.

Who is it for

In short, the SSI Independent Diver Specialty course is commonly sought-after by experienced underwater photographer and videographer who yearn for personal liberty underwater.

However, if you have 75 logged dives or more on you, and you would like to learn what it takes to dive independently, you are more than welcome to enrol in the course. You will become a reliable diver in the team, which is always a strong and calming presence for everyone.

This course is very popular to combine with a sidemount course, which enable you to dive with two scuba cylinders, as required in this course.
