SSI Computer Diving Specialty
Have a dive computer but only use the basic functions? Or perhaps you don’t own one yet and want to understand the differences between models, features, and benefits before buying? The SSI Computer Diving Specialty is designed to help divers get the most out of one of the most important pieces of dive equipment they own.
Dive computers can do far more than just show depth and time. Understanding how to use all the available functions can improve your dive planning, increase safety, and make your diving more efficient and enjoyable. This course helps you build confidence in using your computer before, during, and after every dive.
What is the SSI Computer Diving Specialty?
SSI created the Computer Diving Specialty to help certified divers understand the functions, capabilities, and practical benefits of modern dive computers.
During the course you will:
-
Explore the different types of dive computers and how they work

-
Use pre-dive planning features for safer dive preparation
-

Whether you already own a computer or are looking to buy one, this course helps you make informed decisions and get maximum value from your investment.
