Hi,
I will be taking the SSI Deep to 39m course in the next few weeks. I have booked it in kind of a rush though as it is a private course my buddy organised for us that we had to do soon due to instructor availability. Anyway, it means I have not had time to talk to my instructor in detail about what is involved in the course skills wise so was hoping someone could fill me in on the requirements for this course as I would like to practice some of the skills over this weekend.
So far I know there will be 1 shore dive to practice launching SMBs, 2 boat dives between 18m and 30m and 2 more boat dives between 30, and 39m with redundant air supply.
What skills will I have to do at depth? I am guessing mask clears/regulator removal/launch SMB, etc but anything else?
I know Nav is recommended but I will be doing that course two weeks later unfortunately. Is that is going to disadvantage me in a big way? If so I will practice navigation on my dives this weekend.
Anyway, haven't had much luck on google with this and the search results here are too many and too general So any comments/advice will be appreciated!
