SSI Extended Range Foundations

Extended Range Foundations

Your Launch Pad To Technical Diving

Ready to up your diving game? The SSI XR Foundations program is your pathway to mastering advanced diving techniques. This dynamic program runs more like a tailored workshop than a rigid course, adapting to the needs of each student as it prepares them for the next level.

You’ll refine your buoyancy, trim, finning techniques, positioning, and underwater communication—all essential skills for the kind of confident and controlled abilities required of Technical divers.

Whether you’re brushing up on existing skills, seeking to add extra confidence to your diving, or plan to join further Tech programs, this curriculum will benefit any diver and can be conducted on either a single tank, double tank, or sidemount configuration.
