We will list out common adventure dives we conduct for our Advance Adventurer course.

Deep Diving (compulsory)

Deep Diving, as the name suggest, extends the depth range of the diver to 30m.

During this dive, you will learn to detect traces of nitrogen narcosis in your body, discover the extent of light absorption and pressure effects at great depths.

Navigation (compulsory)

Navigation dive is derived into two aspects – compass navigation and natural navigation. You will learn compass readings, observing visual reference points and terminologies like “fin-kick cycle” and “reciprocal heading”. On the other hand, you need to navigate your direction underwater without compass as well. You will learn how to do so by observing underwater environmental features to find your way.

Options for the SSI Advanced Adventurer Diver Course:

Perfect Buoyancy (recommended)

ssi perfect buoyancy course

Mastering perfect buoyancy is a goal for new divers… Streamlined and graceful, a diver with good buoyancy glides through the water effortlessly, leaving others in awe and admiration. More often than not, you see your instructors glide through water, seemingly not even moving an inch. In this course, we will teach you exactly that. You will learn how to breath, when to kick and when not to kick to reach a trance-like condition underwater. After the enlightenment, you surely will start referring scuba diving as a sport more similar to yoga, and not swimming.

Computer Diving

Remember what computer looks like back in the days? Well then consider yourself lucky. During this dive, in lieu of the inflexible dive tables, you will be learning how to dive with a wristwatch-sized dive computer. In return of your trust and love, the dive com honours you with acute NDL, dive time, depth, and many more precious info. Your instructor will teach you how to maximize the advantages of the dive computer, and to plan a multilevel dive with it.

Wreck Diving

Diving in a wreck, as interesting as it sounds, requires proper skills. In Wreck Adventure dive, your instructors will give your a basic layout of wreck diving essentials. Although not as dramatic as the Titanic story, wrecks around Phuket do have some interesting information about it. Generally, in this course our instructor will teach you about the history, layout, and navigation method of the wreck.

Photography

Just as you learn it in your Open Water Course, light gets absorbed by water. Hence, the deeper you go, the darker it gets. This is why underwater photography requires you to master a whole new skill sets to be proficient in it. In this dive, you will learn about basic skills of underwater photography and the required diving skills to get good photos.

Other Adventure dives available:

Spider cave Ao Nang
Spider cave

Although there are many other adventure dives available, some are virtually impractical given the environment conditions in Thailand. For instance, Ice Diving is strictly out of the question. We also only offer Dry Suit Diving as a full specialty course. The other adventure dives which you could choose are Current, Waves and Tides Diving, Cavern DivingBoat Diving, Shore DivingIntro to NitroxFish Identification Dive and Search and Recovery Dive.

You will need two days to finish your Advance Adventurer course. As surroundings of Phuket does not offer good dive spots, we arrange diving around Racha islands, Phi Phi islands, or King Cruiser. As our schedule is 3 dives a day, you use 5 dives as training dives, and the last dive will be a complementary fun dive!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact our dive center to ask about the Advance Adventurer Course that are now available. Availability of the adventure dive are subject to change due to weather conditions of Phuket island as well.
