Proper
Equipment,
The most
comfortable, convenient and enjoyable way to dive is with your own
set of properly fitted equipment, your ability level increases.
Servicing your equipment annually improves your equipment's performance,
and minimizes malfunctions, which provides peace of mind.
Proper
Knowledge,
There
are certain safety rules that must be learned. With a professional
teaching system (a manual, video, and study guide) you can study this
information on your own. An instructor will be available for assistance.
Proper
Skills,
You
must develop ability with basic scuba skills, such as moving in the
water and equipment handling. The best way to learn is from a qualified
instructor at a professional scuba school. Review and practice time
reinforces the skills.
Experience,
While
education helps develop knowledge and skills, the key to becoming
a comfortable and confident diver is simply to dive as much as possible.
Your experience increases as you explore different diving locations,
meet new friends, have new adventures, and explore new worlds.
That's why SSI's motto is
"Serious
diving, serious fun!"
