DOSSIER: INCREASE YOUR DIVE SAFETY, MAKE PLANNING & EXECUTING YOUR DIVES EASIER

SSI designed the Computer Diving program to help certified divers become familiar with the features and benefits of using a dive computer.

The SSI Computer Diving program explores the functions and capabilities of different dive computers and explains how to use these functions before, during, and after your dive. Often, divers purchase a computer and only use it for its basic information. Get the most out of your investment by learning to use your dive computer to its full potential.

Mission Statement

The course offers a dedicated course to help divers become proficient in using their dive computers: the SSI Computer Diving specialty.

This programme is designed to enhance safety and efficiency underwater by unlocking the full potential of your dive computer, moving beyond its basic functions.

The SSI Computer Diving program covers various aspects of dive computer use, including: 

  • Decompression theory and its relation to dive computer operation: Understanding concepts like inert gas absorption and elimination, decompression models, no-decompression limits, and surface intervals.
  • Dive computer selection: Exploring key features, different designs (wrist-mounted, console-mounted, mask-integrated), and the differences between nitrox, mixed-gas, rebreather, and freediving computers.
  • Dive computer operation: Mastering the three display modes, understanding parameters like maximum operating depth and time-to-surface, and using the computer for dive planning and monitoring nitrogen levels.
  • Diving with a computer: Maximizing its use during dives, understanding warnings and alarms during no-decompression or decompression diving.
  • Post-dive operations: Accessing dive data, transferring it to a computer or the MySSI App, and proper care and maintenance procedures for your dive computer.
