The SSI philosophy towards diver training has an emphasis on experience, divers should be familiar with their dive gear and need to relaxed underwater, therefore applicants must have at least 24 dives before certification as advanced diver, these can include the course dives.
Advanced Certification includes, Deep diving, Boat diving, Decompression diving, all essential for Foggy Cave and will be for inside the Adelaide .
Navigation: this is the depth at which you don't want to get lost
Night or Limited vis diving: all of which could be seen to fit well into the knowledge required to safely dive the Adelaide .
Marine life. A knowledge of what is on the seabed around you can make your diving come alive. If you are into underwater photography as many people are, you need to know just what is filling the viewfinder
SSI has a programme to encourage all recreational divers to aim for the master diver status. Like all SSI programmes this is based around experience. Plus appropriate training.
What is a master diver? It's diver who has at least 50 dives or more under their wt. belt, has done the advanced diver certificate on the way through and has also become a stress rescue diver.
So what do you end up with? A diver who really knows his stuff, is well trained and with a good level of experience but who is not expected and is perhaps not wanting to take on the added role of looking after beginners and the legal hassles this can lead too.
