Extend the Adventure: Starting Deep Diving

News & OffersDive CoursesExtend the Adventure: Starting Deep Diving

For many divers, the first few dives are just the beginning. Once you discover the thrill of being underwater, the natural question is what comes next. One of the most exciting steps is the Deep Diving Specialty. It allows you to extend the adventure, explore further, and open up new experiences in your diving journey.

Why Learn Deep Diving

The ocean is full of wonders beyond the shallow reefs. Deeper wrecks, dramatic walls, and incredible marine life often lie below 18 metres. With proper training, you can visit these sites safely and confidently. Deep diving is not about rushing down but about learning the skills to stay calm, manage your gas, and make the most of your dive.

Skills You Will Gain

During the SSI Deep Diving Specialty, you learn how to plan and conduct dives up to 40 metres. You practice managing air consumption, mastering buoyancy at depth, and understanding the effects of pressure on your body and equipment. These skills improve your confidence and make you a more capable diver in every situation.

Expanding Your Horizons

Completing the deep diving course extends the range of sites available to you. Wrecks like the M.V. Alpha Funguo or deep reef systems become accessible. You will see species and environments that shallow divers cannot reach. Every new depth brings new horizons and new opportunities for discovery.

Building for Future Dive Courses

Deep diving is also a stepping stone for more advanced training. Specialty courses such as Wreck Diving often involve depth, and professional or leadership training expects you to be confident in deeper environments. If you want to move into SSI Extended Range, the entry point to technical diving, deep diving is the foundation that prepares you for greater challenges.

Experiences That Stay With You

There is something unforgettable about descending into the blue and seeing a wreck emerge below you or drifting along a wall that drops into the deep. These moments stay with you long after the dive is over. They bring not only excitement but also a true sense of achievement. Deep diving allows you to extend the adventure and create memories you will never forget.

Your Next Step

If you are ready to take your diving further, the SSI Deep Diving Specialty is the course for you. With experienced instructors at Ocean Tribe, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to explore safely at greater depths. Extend the adventure, unlock new horizons, and take your diving to the next level.


FAQs About Getting Started with Deep Diving

What is the SSI Deep Diving Specialty?

The SSI Deep Diving Specialty is a course that trains you to safely plan and conduct dives down to 40 metres. It teaches buoyancy control, gas management, and how to handle the effects of depth. It is the perfect way to extend the adventure beyond the limits of basic certification.

Who can take part in deep diving training?

Any certified Open Water Diver who is at least 15 years old can start the SSI Deep Diving Specialty. It is designed for recreational divers who want to extend the adventure and explore new depths safely.
