About this tour

SSI Boat Diving. The Essence.

Boat dives make it possible to discover sites you cannot visit from the shore because they are too far out. Enhance your skills diving from boats.

It’s fun really to do most of your diving from a boat in the company of like-minded enthusiasts. Our goal is to teach you skills of paramount importance during your SSI Boat Diving Specialty Course.

The ocean is littered with dive sites, but many of them cannot be reached from shore. This program offers you the skills and knowledge required to safely dive from a boat, allowing you to get the most from your underwater opportunities.

Boats allow you the opportunity to explore spectacular dive sites far from shore. This SSI program covers the additional knowledge you need to make your first boat diving vacation a true success, and the techniques necessary to dive properly from all sizes and types of boats. Enhance your dive trips! Most of the diving you will do while on vacation will take place from a dive boat.
