The SSI Wreck Diver pathway

The SSI Wreck Diving specialty is delivered through SSI's digital platform and counts toward the Specialty Diver and Master Diver recognition ratings. It covers no-overhead and limited-penetration wreck diving, not full technical wreck penetration.

Where you'll dive in Rasdhoo Atoll

Dives take place on the atoll's accessible wreck sites, including the compact Reef Explorer wreck and the historic Kuramathi Queen, both short boat rides from the island and home to dense resident fish. The steady November-to-April season offers the visibility that makes survey and photography work most rewarding.
