SSI Advanced Open Water Diver
SSI ADVANCED OPEN WATER DIVER OVERVIEW
The SSI Advanced Open Water Diver is designed to immerse you in five distinct open water dives from various SSI Specialty programs.
No need to commit to a full Specialty course - this unique program offers a taste of diverse dive experiences to advance your skills and explore your interests. Perfect for those uncertain about their next diving step, it's an ideal way to hone your abilities and pinpoint the Specialty programs that resonate with you. However, it is not a mandatory part of the SSI Training options, you can complete the SSI Deep Diver speciality and get a depth increase to 40 metres.
The Advanced Open Water Diver is for those who wish to try different types of dives prior to committing to a full speciality.
