SSI Extended Range

• 5 – 6 days
• Normally, on Day 1 we start with equipment configuration and dry runs of skills and drills for the first confined water session.
• For next days we typically split the days between theory and open open water dives. We conduct two open water training dives on the same day and separate dive 5 and dive 6. Depending on the class we shift theory before or after the in-water sessions.

• 6 academics sessions
• Practical application sessions
• 2 confined water sessions
• 6 open water dives
• Double 12L tank rental
• 11.1L deco tank rental
• All gasses except Helium
• Transportation from dive centre to dive sites

Not included:

• Helium cost at 0.05€* / ltr. *Current price. This may vary based on helium availability on the actual dates of the class.
• Boat fee and fuel shared amongst the students. On dive 5 and / or 6 to 45m we can choose to dive a shipwreck or a deep reef on the same day after a surface interval of at least there hours and in the close vicinity from the dive centre and just a few miles away reducing fuel cost. Alternatively, dive 5 and/or 6 can be done on Nestos shipwreck in Psathopirgo in the Corinthian Gulf from the shore. This requires a day road trip.
