Expand your underwater horizons with the SSI Specialty Decompression Diving course offered by Aquasport Diving Lanzarote. This technically focused program is meticulously designed for recreational divers looking to safely extend their bottom time beyond standard no-decompression limits. You will acquire the essential skills to plan and execute dives to a maximum depth of 40 meters, utilizing a dedicated decompression cylinder for controlled and accelerated ascents.
