SSI Scuba Explorers - Underwater Communication

A continuation of the SCUBA Explorer program: Because you cannot talk to your device buddy underwater, it is important to establish clear communication skills that can be used underwater.   

What To Do Before Class:

Participants must have already completed the introductory, three day SSI Scuba Explorers Program.  All waivers must be signed and there must be a current parent or guardian-signed waiver on file.

If it has been close or at least one year since last completed, please update the Diver Medical / Participant Questionnaire at: https://dolphinscuba.com/content/pdf/downloadable-forms/RSTC_MEDICAL_FORM.pdf

What to Expect In Class 

In the classroom session students will learn how to identify at least three types of photo and video equipment, and how to operate basic underwater photo equipment.

The classroom session will then be followed by an in-pool dive session where students will  learn to use standard hand signals and discuss other ways to customize signals, learn what to do if conditions interfere with communication, and learn why to discuss this as part of your predive briefing.  

What To Bring To Class

• Swimsuit, towel, mask, snorkel, and fins.  

• Scuba Explorer book. 

• Snack or lunch and a water bottle. 

• Bring dry clothes to change into and shower supplies if desired

The price is $100
