SCIENCE OF DIVING: Become a divelogist
Diveology: SSI Science of Diving – with the PUNKFISH PLUS
Maybe you’re one of those nerds who wants to understand how a regulator works even before you try diving for the first time. Maybe you’ve been diving for a long time, but somehow you sometimes feel like you really don’t know enough about what you’re doing. Maybe you want to become a diving instructor and wonder if you already know enough.
All this and much more are good reasons for the Science of Diving course. The SSI course is a prerequisite for the SSI Divemaster, it provides all the basic information in a compact and complete way.
Sometimes the information from the course material is not enough, but more and more questions arise. For this we try to provide a little additional material on important discussions in the world of diving. So that you can not only recite the names of long-dead old white men, but also know the relevant basic physics. So that you not only memorize the rules, but also assess risks. And above all, of course: To make diving even more fun.
We, the Punkfishes Dominik Elsässer and Veronika Sievers, wish you lots of fun reading and diving!
