What to Expect During the Waves, Tides & Currents Course?


Your SSI Waves, Tides & Currents course begins when you enroll and gain access to the digital learning materials, which you are required to complete prior to arriving at our Bali diving school. When you arrive at our dive centre for your course, we will finalize any administrative details and then the excitement of your in-water training begins! You will join your instructor and fellow students on two (2) dives at some of Bali’s best dive sites to practice various underwater exercises including:

  • Demonstrate an entry appropriate for waves
  • Control buoyancy and movement in a current
  • Descend using a reel line
  • Demonstrate a free descent

After the dives, you will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before returning to our dive centre with a newfound confidence and skill set! At Ocean Gravity Bali, we prioritize safety and certification is issued based on each student’s ability, comfort level, and knowledge. Your instructor will assess your progress throughout the course and will decide if you are eligible for certification. For more information, please read our Terms & Conditions.
