Push your limits to recreational depth with the SSI Deep Diving specialty in Ambon on the Banda Sea, where wall sites and the Twilight Zone slope drop well below the reef. Through the SSI digital system you learn to plan and manage dives to 40 metres while controlling gas, narcosis and decompression status, finishing certified as an SSI Deep Diver.
SSI Deep Diving is a recognised specialty within the SSI Total Diving System, counting toward the Specialty Diver and Advanced Open Water ratings. The recreational maximum for this certification is 40 metres.
Training uses Ambon's wall sites and the Twilight Zone slope, which continues past recreational depth in warm 27-29°C water. Dives are timed to the moderate tidal currents, with the open Banda Sea at its best in March-April and September-November.
