Both students and instructors have embraced the no nonsense approach that the SDI training system offers. SDI have streamlined the course materials to let students study the essential academics with an emphasis on practical diving skills learned in both the pool and open water environments. SDI is the only scuba training and certification agency to require students to be taught with modern dive computers from the onset of training.

SDI course materials are state-of-the-art; the materials are lavishly illustrated with photography and graphics. Diving is constantly changing. SDI staff are always looking forward and striving to be the innovators in scuba diving education. SDI focus is to make the experience of diving one that is enjoyed by every family member.

COURSE SCHEDULE

By being correctly weighted, neutrally buoyant and in trim you will be able to effortlessly move through the water and improve your gas consumption. The Advanced Buoyancy course teaches you all these skills and more...

This specialty is designed to increase the open water diver's understanding of the factors that influence buoyancy, and to train the diver how to use the means available to him as methods for controlling his buoyancy. The added benefits to the marine and freshwater environments, cannot be overstated; as well as a diver that has better control of himself in conjunction with his environment.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The benefits of using Nitrox include increased safety margins, reduced post dive fatigue and extended no-decompression times.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The course covers a variety of topics such as dive planning, decompression illnesses, nitrogen narcosis and equipment associated with deep diving. By the end of the course you will be qualified to dive to a maximum depth of 40m.

This course is designed to introduce you to those risks and their management in a comprehensive and enjoyable format. You will work your way through the six short chapters that make up the self-study portion of this fully sanctioned SDI specialty course at your own pace and from the comfort of your own home. Online training is the new wave of scuba training and SDI is the leader in the field.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The SDI Diver Propulsion Vehicle Diver Course is designed to train divers in the use of a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) and familiarize them with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, and hazards of using a DPV in a non-overhead environment.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The SDI Dry Suit Diver Course will open up a whole new world of diving to you. Many of the diving environments around the world are better experienced in a dry suit. Why? These areas have an abundance of marine life waiting to be seen and photographed - they just happen to be a little colder!

Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you from the cold water outside. This means you'll not only enjoy the dive more, but may be able to stay underwater longer and offer redundant buoyancy. Skills include ascent and descent techniques, buoyancy, emergency procedures and routine maintenance.

COURSE SCHEDULE

It can be used for both conscious and unconscious casualties, as well as those individuals who deteriorate into Cardiac Arrest and require resuscitation prior to the arrival of the Emergency Medical Services. The RescuEAN course covers the parts and the maintenance of the pod along with its use on both breathing and non-breathing casualties.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The Search & Recovery Diver course teaches you the skills to conduct an underwater search using a variety of search patterns including the use of lines and reels, the use of a lift bag and other recovery methods.

COURSE SCHEDULE

Solo diving, once considered technical diving and discouraged by most certification agencies, is now seen by many experienced divers and some certification agencies as an acceptable practice for those divers suitably trained and experienced.

Rather than relying on the traditional buddy diving safety system, solo divers should be skilled in self-sufficiency and willing to take responsibility for their own safety while diving.

This is the perfect course for underwater photography and underwater video divers as well as those diving with their children or buddies that may not very experienced in scuba diving.

COURSE SCHEDULE

Divers are intensely fascinated by navigation… It allows them to make their way back to a special spot discovered on an earlier dive. They use the tricks and techniques of navigation to find an ideal exit point at the end of a dive without the need for an uncomfortable surface swim. Never get lost again and be that diver that others look to for guidance underwater...

COURSE SCHEDULE

The Wreck Diver course covers a variety of topics such as line laying, propulsion methods, the use of lights, how to avoid common hazards and emergency procedures. This course may be taught as a non-penetration (2 total dives) or limited-penetration* (3 total dives) course.

COURSE SCHEDULE

SDI encourages the use of this program for instructors or dive facilities that have questions regarding the diving history of an individual. This program can also be used as a catalyst for continuing education programs.

COURSE SCHEDULE

The course aims to refresh existing safety and rescue skills as well as introduce some new techniques for improving surface location and survival skills in an emergency situation. The workshop covers dive planning, rescue skills, sea survival and methods of calling for help at the surface and involves theoretical and practical scenarios.
