3-Stage Process:

THEORY & EQUIPMENT - SSI's Online Learning program is designed so that you can learn the academics at your own pace when it is convenient for you. You complete the academic section of your course online, however your Instructor will be happy to help you with any theory based questions you may have.

SHORE DIVES - The first dives of your SSI Advanced Open Water course will take place off the shore. Included in all SSI Advanced Adventurer courses run by Aquatic Adventures is a short skill review session which will be part of the first dive. This is to ensure that both you and your Instructor are aware of where amongst your basic skills there is a room for improvement. 

BOAT DIVES- Your SSI Advanced Open Water course will also comprise Boat dives. These will include a Deep dive, to 30m, and at least one other dive to make the best of the conditions at the time.
