SSI Shark Diving Specialty

"If the Sharks die, the Sea dies!"


SSI Shark Diving Specialty Instructor

SSI and SHARKPROJECT have decided to actively support the positive image of sharks by founding the SHARK DIVING Program.

Experience the fascination of sharks in an unforgettable way! Divers and non-divers have the chance to find out more about sharks and to learn the correct techniques when meeting sharks.

Dives are optional in this program and therefore it is a perfect "holiday-prep-specialty" before your diving vacation starts. You will be able to apply the knowledge you have gained to future shark dives.

SSI is donating 10% of the income from the SHARK DIVING Specialty Program to shark preservation. As a participant in the program you are making an active contribution to help secure the survival of sharks.

Course Content:

  • Fearcination Shark
  • Biology
  • Ecology
  • Diving with Sharks
  • Different types of Sharks

The primary goal of any SSI Specialty course is to teach you important skills in a fun environment. All courses are taught using home study, short academic sessions, and in-water training.

Combine other specialties while taking the SHARK DIVING course! DIGITAL UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY or WAVES, TIDES & CURRENTS are great add ons. The possibilities are limitless!
