To have good buoyancy is key to a fun and safe dive: by learning and practicing the exercises during the specialty SNSI Hovering Diver you will become automatically aware of your best position, while increasing your mental dexterity, tranquility and comfort like you have never experienced before.
NIGHT AND LIMITED VISIBILITY DIVER
A common goal of most advanced divers is to dive in different environments and conditions:
When we dive at night we can observe creatures that hide during daylight hours and view forms of life of unthinkable colors, or practice other activities in waters with limited visibilities, such as lakes. The SNSI Night Diver masters the navigation and communication techniques to be able to dive at night or in limited visibility. Diving always brings surprising and new discoveries, frequently our flashlight’s narrow beam will show us a world that we may have otherwise missed, with a natural wider angle view.

The SNSI Wreck Trek Diver will teach you how to truly dive wrecks. With a maximum depth limit of 98ft / 30m the dive plan can include penetrating the wreck with natural daylight and visible entrance and exit. If the dive on the wreck is planned without penetration, the maximum depth allowed increases to 128ft / 39m. The depths and profiles can vary according to the training and certifications that you posses, for example, if you are certified SNSI Deco Diver, you can dive to the greater depths allowed and enjoy longer dives.
