Specialty Decompression Diving
Expand your underwater horizons with the SSI Specialty Decompression Diving course offered by Aquasport Diving Lanzarote. This technical-level program is meticulously designed for recreational divers aiming to safely extend their bottom time beyond standard no-decompression limits. You will acquire the essential skills to plan and execute dives up to a maximum depth of 40 meters, utilizing a dedicated decompression cylinder for controlled, accelerated ascents. The curriculum thoroughly covers the advanced functions of your dive computer, including critical gas switching strategies and the management of reserve times, ensuring your ascents and surface intervals are both safe and efficient. Mastering these decompression techniques is fundamental for exploring deeper wrecks and reefs, significantly broadening your diving possibilities. Lanzarote's waters offer a consistent and inviting environment for this advanced training. The sea temperature averages around 20.2°C year-round, with monthly air temperatures ranging from a comfortable 19.4°C in January to a warmer 24.2°C in August, according to available climate data. This stable thermal condition, coupled with generally good visibility typical of the Canary Islands, provides an ideal setting for practicing complex decompression profiles. The volcanic nature of the island creates unique underwater topography, often featuring dramatic drop-offs and intriguing geological formations that are perfect for applying your new decompression skills. Aquasport Diving Lanzarote, a certified SSI training facility, ensures a high standard of instruction. The center is equipped to support your technical diving education, with instructors fluent in English, Spanish, and French, catering to a diverse international clientele.

This specialty course serves as a vital stepping stone for those aspiring to venture into the realm of technical diving, providing a solid theoretical and practical foundation. To enroll in the Specialty Decompression Diving course, divers typically need to hold an Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent, demonstrating a foundational understanding of deeper diving principles. While specific equipment needs beyond standard scuba gear will be detailed by your instructor, expect to utilize specialized decompression cylinders and potentially advanced dive computers. The course emphasizes a hands-on approach, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application during open water dives. Upon successful completion, you will be recognized as an SSI Decompression Diver, opening doors to more challenging and rewarding dive sites previously inaccessible within recreational limits.
