SSI Mergulho Profundo
This is the specialty built for what CS Diving Center does most. The site list runs to six wrecks across different depths and conditions — the U-1277 at 30 m, the Navio do Norte at 33 m, the Draga da Madalena at 18–21 m, the Batelão at 27 m, the Brenha at 27 m, and the Jacob Maersk at 12–15 m. Each has different structure, access points and marine life. The SSI Wreck Diving specialty teaches safe navigation above and around wreck structures, wreck dive planning, and the protocols that keep you out of trouble when the temptation is to push deeper inside. None of these sites require penetration, but understanding wreck environments makes the dives significantly more rewarding. The centre has been diving these sites since 2011 and the instructors know each wreck's layout, entry conditions and the windows when visibility and current cooperate.
SSI Ar Enriquecido Nitrox
CS Diving Center has had its own filling station since 2011, and the Nitrox specialty teaches you to use it properly. The course covers planning and executing dives with enriched air mixes up to 40% oxygen — extending no-decompression limits and reducing required surface intervals compared to air diving. On the north coast, where multiple dives per day across wreck sites at 27–33 metres is normal, nitrox has practical value rather than just being a resume item. The centre offers both SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% and 40% certification upon completion. Casimiro Sampaio holds a TDI Nitrox Instructor rating in addition to his SSI credentials, giving this course depth on the technical side.
SSI Fato Seco
The north Atlantic coast off Porto is not tropical diving. Water temperatures make a drysuit a practical piece of kit for year-round diving here, and CS Diving Center offers the SSI Dry Suit specialty to train you in using one safely. The course covers the specific buoyancy management required when diving dry, emergency procedures unique to drysuit diving, and equipment maintenance. Training starts in confined water before moving to open water dives. For divers planning to dive the local wrecks regularly — particularly the U-1277 at 30 metres, where bottom time and thermal comfort matter — this specialty pays back quickly.
SSI Sidemount Recreativo
Sidemount diving is noted by CS Diving Center as standard practice for wreck and cavern diving, and this specialty introduces recreational divers to the configuration. The SSI Recreational Sidemount Diving course covers the setup, movement advantages and buoyancy differences compared to backmount. For the kind of wreck diving the centre specialises in — sites with structure to navigate around rather than penetrate — sidemount offers real benefits in trim and manoeuvrability. The qualification opens the door to that style of diving in a managed, progressive way.
SSI Classified Diver
The SSI Classified Diver programme is specifically designed for people with reduced or limited mobility. CS Diving Center is equipped to run this course through Mário Vasconcelos, who holds a DDI (Disabled Divers International) Instructor certification — a credential that goes beyond the standard SSI qualification and reflects specialist training in adapted diving. The programme provides the skills and training needed for participants to dive with a qualified buddy, adapted to their specific abilities and environmental conditions. It's a genuine service rather than a nominal offering — the DDI certification means the instructor has trained specifically for this context. For anyone with mobility limitations looking to dive on the north Portuguese coast, CS Diving Center is one of the few centres on this stretch of coastline with the credentials to deliver this properly.
