Waves, Tides & Currents
Description:
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.
e 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.

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.

FAQ
Is scuba diving safe?
Is scuba diving hard?
Diving programs have been designed in a way that teaches you all you need to know within just a few days, and in a way that is easy to remember. There is always more to learn about scuba diving, but getting the basics is fairly easy, and lots of fun!
Once you have practiced using the equipment and learned to control your buoyancy etc., you will find that scuba diving becomes second nature and does not require too much thought.
What is a scuba certification?
A certification is achieved after you pass all of the requirements during your scuba diving program. The best way to learn to scuba dive is to earn your Open Water Diver certification, which will certify you to dive safely to a maximum of 18 meters (60 feet) deep.
Once you have this certification, you can flash it at any dive center around the world and start exploring the incredible underwater world. But getting your Open Water Diver certification is just the start of the adventure! There are many advanced diver programs you can join that will certify you to dive deeper, go shipwreck diving, try night diving , and more.
Will my scuba certification expire?
Once you are certified you are certified for life! However, if you have a period where you do not scuba dive for a while, you will need to take a scuba skills update with a dive professional who can assess your diving skills and ensure you are still comfortable in the water.
How deep can you scuba dive?
The maximum depth for recreational diving is 40 meters (130 feet). Technical divers can dive deeper, but this requires in-depth training and breathing a different mix of gasses.
