Curious about technical (tec) diving, but not sure about jumping into a course? SSI's Extended Range (XR) Foundations program is a short confined water experience that allows you to give technical diving a try.

The SSI XR Foundations program provides you with an opportunity to enhance your advanced diving skills in a workshop environment. Learn more about using tec diving gear and build upon your basic skill set to master buoyancy, trim, finning techniques, positioning, and communication.

The Extended Range Foundations program provides supplementary training to existing certifications to increase your confidence and in-water control. All in-water sessions are completed in a pool/confined water environment at depths less than 12 meters. 

Your SSI XR Instructor may introduce a few basic skills, such as primary to secondary regulator switch and gas shutdown procedures.

• Be a SSI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization)
