Night & Limited Visibility Diver Specialty Course in Denver

How long will it take?

• Academic Session: 1-2 hours
• Pool Sessions: 1 hour
• Minimum Open Water Training: two dives (included in course fee)

What will I need?

• SSI Night & Limited Visibility online manual (included in course fee)
• Dive computer; or depth gauge, timing device, and diving tables (computers can be rented)

Your Night & Limited Visibility Diving adventure starts by completing the 5 sessions in your online learning. Next, there will be a classroom session to answer any questions you may have about the material, clarify important points, discuss the open water dives and take your final exam. During the pool sessions, you will get to practice using specialized equipment for communication and navigation at night and limited visibility conditions. Finally, during your open water dives, you will put into action the skills you have learned during 2 exciting night dives.

• Show proof of being an SSI Referral diver, Open Water diver or hold an equivalent certification from another recognized training agency.
  • Unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in the program without showing the A-1 professional proof of certification.
  • While you may register for the specialty course as a Referral Diver, you must complete your open water certification dives before you can complete any specialty course dives.
• Be at least 10 years old
• Have a MySSI account.  Be sure to upload a digital photo to your account and enter a complete address. (You’ll need this in order to access your online learning material.)

The A-1 instructor will collect the following (completed) documents at the beginning of the first session.  Unfortunately, participants will not be able to continue until the instructor has reviewed them for accuracy.

• Required Course Documents
• SSI Night & Limited Visibility Training Record
• IMPORTANT  – When completing the Diver Medical/Participant Questionnaire

  If there is a YES response to questions 3, 5, or 10 on page 1 of the Diver Medical form or to ANY of the questions on page 2, the participant will need to sign and date the Participant’s Signature on page 1 AND take all three pages of the Participant Questionnaire to their physician for a medical evaluation.  Their medical professional must approve, date, and sign page three, the Medical Examiner’s Evaluation Form, and include their medical credentials MD, DO, NP, RN, PA, etc., with their signature.                  

  UNFORTUNATELY, THE PARTICIPANT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER THE WATER, FOR EITHER PROGRAM, UNTIL THE PROPER DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, SIGNED, AND REVIEWED FOR ACCURACY BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR.
