How does SSI Navigation run, day by day?

SSI Navigation usually takes usually 1–2 days.

  1. Day 1

    Theory and first dives

    Natural navigation from reef shape, sand ripples and light, then compass work you can trust when the visibility drops.

  2. Training dives

    The training dives

    Each dive has one clear goal, briefed before and reviewed after.

    • Measure your own kick cycles over a set distance
    • Out-and-back and square patterns by compass
    • Find the boat again using only natural references
  3. Finish

    Certification
