Explore More, Dive Longer: The SSI Advanced Adventurer & SSI Nitrox Combo in Goa!

Are you an Open Water Diver ready for the next step? Do you want to explore different types of diving? Would you like to safely extend your underwater time on those dives? FlyingFish Scuba School in beautiful Goa has the perfect package for you: the SSI Advanced Adventurer & SSI Nitrox Combo. This program efficiently combines two fantastic SSI courses. You gain valuable experience across five different dive specialties. You also earn your full Enriched Air Nitrox certification. It’s the ideal way to significantly boost your confidence, skills, and diving opportunities.

Part 1: Broaden Your Horizons – The SSI Advanced Adventurer

The first part of you course focuses on exploration. The Advanced Adventurer program lets you sample five different SSI specialty areas. You complete one open water training dive from five distinct specialties. This is the perfect way to discover what interests you most in diving. You don't need to commit to a full specialty course yet. Just try them out!

Under the expert guidance of your FlyingFish Scuba School SSI Professional, you choose your adventures. What could you try here in Goa?

• Deep Diving: Learn the procedures for safely diving beyond 18 meters (requires minimum age 15). Experience the unique feeling of greater depth.
• Perfect Buoyancy: Fine-tune your hovering skills. Learn to glide effortlessly, conserving air and protecting marine life.
• Underwater Navigation: Master compass techniques and natural navigation. Always know where you are and how to get back.
• Night & Limited Visibility: Discover the completely different world that emerges after dark. See nocturnal creatures and experience familiar sites in a new light.
• Wreck Diving (non-penetration): Explore Goa's underwater history. Learn safe techniques for diving around submerged structures.
• Boat Diving: Master the specific procedures for diving from different types of boats.

Your instructor provides a thorough briefing before each adventure dive. You learn the specific considerations and skills for that type of diving. After completing the five dives, you earn the SSI Advanced Adventurer certification. This shows you have gained supervised experience in various environments. Please note: This certification itself doesn't grant the Advanced Open Water Diver recognition (that requires four full specialty certs and 24 dives). However, each adventure dive you complete credits towards the corresponding full SSI specialty certification if you pursue it later.

Part 2: Dive Longer, Dive Smarter – The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty

The second, equally important part of your SSI Advanced Adventurer & SSI Nitrox Combo is earning your full SSI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Specialty certification. This isn't just one adventure dive; it's the complete course. You access the SSI digital learning materials for Nitrox. Learn the science behind using enriched air – gas with more oxygen (up to 40%) and less nitrogen.

You master crucial practical skills. Learn to personally analyze the oxygen content in your scuba tank before every Nitrox dive. Understand how to plan dives considering oxygen exposure limits. Practice setting your dive computer for Nitrox. Why is this so valuable? Diving with Nitrox allows you to safely extend your no-decompression limits. This means potentially much longer bottom times compared to diving with standard air. Imagine having more time to explore that wreck or observe marine life! It can also increase your safety margins regarding decompression sickness. Earning the full Nitrox Specialty certification significantly enhances your diving flexibility.

The Power of the Combo: Why Choose This Package?

Combining these two programs in our course is incredibly beneficial. You gain broad diving experience and learn how to maximize your time underwater simultaneously. You can potentially use Nitrox during your Advanced Adventurer dives (especially helpful for Deep or Wreck dives, with instructor approval and proper planning). This allows you to fully appreciate these new experiences.

This package is efficient. You complete academics and dives for both programs in a structured way. It often represents better value than taking both courses separately. The course transforms you from a basic Open Water diver into a much more capable and knowledgeable explorer. You finish the program ready for a wider range of dive sites and conditions.
