Go deep on the theory behind every dive with SSI Science of Diving, a good study option while based in south-ari-atoll. It explains the physics, physiology and decompression principles behind the channel and deep dives you do on the atoll.
SSI Science of Diving is a theory specialty with no dives required. It includes free digital materials, counts toward Specialty Diver recognition, and is a step toward professional ratings.
Science of Diving is a knowledge-only program studied at your South Ari island or boat base, so no dive site is needed. The theory directly underpins the atoll's deeper wall and channel diving, where understanding gas and decompression matters.
