Deep Diving (SSI Specialty)

Deep Diving is one of the named specialty programs at Let's Dive, part of an SSI catalogue that runs to more than 20 options. At €140, it sits in the same price band as most of the club's specialties, and it's taught by the instructors who also handle the Open Water and foundational training at Sportcomplex De Tweesprong in Roelofarendsveen.

The program is open to certified divers who want to extend beyond the Open Water depth limit. In the Netherlands, deep diving often means quarries or specific lake sites with sufficient depth — the club's Ontdek je Stekje outings and annual Zeeland weekend both give members access to open-water environments where deeper dives are possible.

Adding a deep specialty to a log also feeds into SSI's higher certification tracks. For members already working through other specialties at Let's Dive — buoyancy, navigation — deep diving rounds out the set and covers the kind of dives that come up on club weekends and boat outings at Vinkeveen.

Training follows SSI's ISO-certified curriculum, with pool and open-water components. As with all Let's Dive instruction, it takes place within the club's established weekly rhythm, with the same instructor team across courses.
