SSI Computer Diving
Have a dive computer do you know how to use it... Don't have a dive computer and want to work out the differences in computer types as well as the features and benefits of using a dive computer.
Overview of the SSI Computer Diving Speciality
SSI designed the Computer Diving program to help certified divers become familiar with the features and benefits of using a dive computer.
Most divers when they own a dive computer know a few functions but by understanding and knowing how to use all the functions of a dive computer, you will not only increase your dive safety but also make planning and executing your dive easier.
The SSI Computer Diving program explores the functions and capabilities of different dive computers and explains how to use these functions before, during, and after your dive. Often, divers purchase a computer and only use it for its basic information. Get the most out of your investment by learning to use your dive computer to its full potential.
