The SSI Wreck Diver pathway

SSI Wreck Diving is a specialty delivered through the MySSI digital system and counts toward SSI recognition ratings such as Specialty Diver and Master Diver. Deeper or penetration dives require appropriate experience.

Where you'll dive in Tarkarli Malvan

Wreck training uses the calm, boat-accessed waters off Malvan near Sindhudurg Fort. In the post-monsoon October-to-May season the Konkan coast stays calm and clear, which suits mapping and line practice. Site selection depends on conditions and certification level.
