RECREATIONAL DEPTH.

Deco Diving 101

Picture this: You’re around 40 metres, watching your computer count down to a stop that wasn’t a mishap. You planned it, and you are prepared for it. That’s the shift the SSI Decompression Diving program gears you for – to stop reacting to the dive, to be in control of it. 

Over the course, you will go through dry runs, academic sessions, and confined water sessions, where you get used to the stage tank, learn how to switch them, and the safety procedures involved. Early dives simulate decompression, easing you in. Your graduation dives are where you experience real staged decompression, up to 15 mins, on a 40% nitrox blend. 

Your gear may not change much – same cylinder(s), same setup, maybe a different BCD. What definitely changes is what you’re capable of doing with it.
