What are the effects of breathing oxygen under pressure? Find out how the partial pressure of the mix in the air can affect you when you dive. When you breathe oxygen under pressure you are possibly exposing yourself to the risk of Pulmonary Oygen Toxicity and Central Nervous System Oxygen Toxicity.

The SSI Advanced Wreck Diving course builds upon the foundational skills gained in the SSI Wreck Diver Specialty (which is done as part of this course). This program teaches you the essential techniques needed to plan and safely execute penetration dives on wrecks. Throughout the course, you will master buoyancy control, emergency response procedures, and the use of specialized equipment, such as a single guideline, to navigate wrecks within the light zone. With clear entry points. This guideline ensures you can easily access the surface in the event of an emergency, providing an added layer of safety while exploring deeper wrecks.
Before diving into the water, you’ll first start with SSI Digital Training, which offers a thorough knowledge briefing and introduces essential scuba diving and safety concepts. This digital training lays the groundwork for your learning experience, and your SSI Instructor will expand on these topics during your wreck dives
You’ll need to complete the knowledge development section before the course begins. This important step helps you build a strong foundation for a safe and enjoyable boat diving adventure. You will need to finish all of the Digital Learning for the SSI Advanced Wreck Diving Specialty Course, ensuring you’re fully prepared.
SSI’s cutting-edge digital learning platform is a leader in diver education. It allows you to complete the theory portion conveniently from home. Plus, you can take notes directly in the app to discuss any concepts you’re unsure about with your SSI Instructor.
As you progress through the digital training, quick reviews at the end of each section help reinforce your understanding. You must complete these correctly to advance, ensuring you’re ready for the hands-on diving experience. Start your SSI Advanced Wreck Specialty Course today and dive confidently!
We will go by boat out to a local wreck which is suitable for conducting the training.
You will learn techniques for diving on a wreck.
You will have 4 dives in total after which you are a fully certified SSI Advanced Wreck Diver, assuming that you have met all of the other course performance requirements.
Your wreck dives will take place on the MV Alpha Funguo.
Please note that the SSI Advanced Wreck Diving course is a no-decompression, limited penetration program designed for divers looking to safely explore wrecks with controlled entry points. This course is distinct from more advanced programs, such as TDI Advanced Wreck Diving. For those interested in Extended Range Wreck Diving or Extended Range Cavern Diving, we encourage you to contact us for more information on these advanced overhead environment courses.
The knowledge development section of the SSI Divemaster course consists of the SSI Dive Guide Digital Learning where you will read the chapters and answer the knowledge reviews. Your SSI Instructor will go through these with you and fill in any gaps in knowledge.
You will also study the SSI Science of Diving Specialty and SSI Computer Diver Specialty for the remainder of your dive theory before completing a final exam. During your studies, your SSI Instructor will be happy to explain anything you are finding hard to understand and make sure you know it.
It is a great idea to get as much out of the knowledge development section of the SSI Divemaster course as possible. You will acquire knowledge that you will use throughout your dive career, but most practically if you choose to continue up the professional ladder. You will use it on the SSI ITC exams, the ITC presentations, the SSI Instructor Evaluation, the SSI Assistant Instructor Trainer exams, and even the Instructor Trainer entrance exam.
To assist our dive go pro candidates in understanding as much dive theory and concepts as possible, we have put together a study resource. The Ocean Tribe ITC Online Learning Centre has videos, quizzes, and other explanations to help you understand concepts. You will also get links to our online classroom sent to you after you sign up for the PADI Divemaster course.
On the SSI Divemaster course, you will be going a lot deeper into dive theory than you have previously.
You will expand up the knowledge that you have acquired on the Open Water Diver Course, Advanced and Specialty courses, and Diver Stress & Rescue Diver courses.
You will also learn a lot more in knowledge development about:
As well as the presentations in the SSI Digital Learning, there will be several workshops with your SSI Instructor to go over concepts.
Yes, you must complete the Science of Diving course in addition to the Dive Guide course to become an SSI Divemaster. You must be proficient in dive theory to be able to answer questions from students and explain concepts in diving. You have all of the SSI Digital Learning in your MySSI app as a backup library whenever you need it. This enables you to stay current and on top of all of your dive theory.
