The SSI Peak Performance Buoyancy pathway

SSI Perfect Buoyancy is delivered free through the digital app with performance-based repeatable dives and certifies with an SSI digital specialty card toward Specialty Diver recognition.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

Training runs on Neil's shallow coral reefs such as Nemo Reef (5-12 m) and Coral Safari (5-20 m), whose macro subjects and fragile coral both demand and reward precise buoyancy. The calm November-May season and 27-30C water keep conditions stable.
