SSI Waves, Tides & Currents Specialty course

SSI Waves, Tides & Currents is a course training divers to extend their comfort level in more challenging environments.

It is a fact that some of the most beautiful dive sites are also the most dangerous. For instance, the South Tip of Racha Noi, has a beautiful pinnacle and pelagic animals. However, the site is only deemed by the very experienced divers due to
strong and unpredictable current flows.

In this course, you learn about the tide, and the current flows that is affected by it, and also to judge wind and waves. Upon graduation, you will extend your diving comfort zone even further and to dive hard, and dive smart in the most challenging sea conditions.

The duration of the course is 3 dives in one day and you can stretch it longer if you are staying for long period in Phuket.

What do you do and where do we teach you

Drift

Blue Label can conduct the SSI Tides, Waves and Currents specialty course at any of the dive sites. Sites like King Cruiser, Phi Phi and the Racha Island do possess suitable sea condition for this course.

During this course, you learn “dry” skills like analyzing tide charts, examining currents from the surface, and planning a dive in strong current. You then apply your skills underwater, incorporating those skills in the actual dives. New skills including how to make a negative entry, drift dive, and make use of an SMB in drift diving.

In the end, you will be not only a stronger diver, but also smarter. To put it simply, diving in rough conditions are now to much easier, because you will now use your brain, not just your brawn to execute a dive.
