ORLANDO SCUBA FIELD GUIDE
Beneath Central Florida: SSI Cavern & Cenote Training in Orlando
A focused, two-day SSI program that teaches limited-penetration cavern and cenote procedures, dive-computer planning, and the skills required to earn your SSI Cavern/Cenote certification.
Beneath Central Florida: SSI Cavern & Cenote Training in Orlando.
Master deep dives beyond no-decompression limits, learn to use dive computers, and plan controlled wreck or cavern explorations: the SSI Cavern/Cenote program is organized to expand a diver’s underwater skill set and lead to SSI certification for controlled overhead-environment diving.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Earn your SSI Cavern/Cenote credential
The program culminates in an SSI certification that recognizes training to conduct limited penetration dives in natural overhead environments, expanding the scope of where you can dive safely.
Dive-computer planning and limited-penetration procedures
Instruction emphasizes the use of dive computers and specialized overhead-environment procedures so divers can independently plan and execute controlled cavern and cenote dives.
Train for natural cavern and cenote settings
The curriculum covers techniques and protocols for operating in natural overhead environments, with an emphasis on planning, equipment, and team procedures appropriate to caverns and cenotes.
