Overview
The SSI Independent Diving Specialty is for experienced divers who want to take the next step in self-sufficiency underwater.
You’ll learn to plan, organize, and execute dives without a direct buddy, while using redundant gas systems and safety procedures.
This course covers gas management, equipment configuration, emergency preparedness, and situational awareness — all essential for dive leaders, photographers, and experienced explorers.
Training takes place in small groups with practical workshops and open-water dives around Bonaire’s calm but current-swept sites.
Develop true underwater independence — join the SSI Independent Diving Specialty at Wanderlust Dive Center Bonaire.
