The Science of Diving adventure starts by completing the Section Reviews in your digital online manual and taking the online final exam. No worries, you can take it as many times as is needed to pass. Next, you’ll attend one of our scheduled online learning sessions where the instructor will review; calculating SAC rates, how to use a dive table, equipment specific to a wreck dive, marine life injuries, and answer any questions you may have about the material. This course is designed to complement the SSI Divemaster program, or can be taken as a standalone course for those who really want to get into the scientific details of diving.
