Here is a selection of the SSI courses I offer at Jolly Roger WSE: from the first breath underwater to advanced specialties.
In the Basic one, the goal is to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to dive safely and have fun. In subsequent courses, the goal is to specialize in certain fields, which will also help create more beautiful underwater videos!
The SSI training path includes a theory part (completed comfortably at home via SSI eLearning), practical training sessions in the pool, and open water dives to apply what has been learned.
In the following list, I have chosen the programs and specialties that I consider most useful for making diving holidays more fun and for helping to create ever better underwater videos.

This is an introductory experience that allows trying underwater breathing in a safe and controlled environment. It is an ideal way to discover diving without the commitment of a full course.
Held in a pool, after a brief theoretical briefing on safety and equipment, participants will experience underwater breathing firsthand.
The fun and unforgettable experience lasts approximately two hours in total.
