Diving itself is a science
The air inside the tank is influenced by so many "variables".
Many historical figures in diving discovered the physical changes experienced underwater!
How have underwater environmental and geographical phenomena evolved over centuries?
And how does the biodiversity of the ocean captivate us so completely?
Decades of diving science research
have enabled us to understand everything about diving.
Physics, physiology, environmental ecosystems,
and decompression theory
have also led to the development of more user-friendly underwater equipment.
Those with immense curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
Divers aspiring to become dive guides.
Diving science is the cornerstone of diving fundamentals.
This course is designed to
build the essential knowledge a professional should have before advancing further,
familiarize you with the intricate structure of diving equipment,
and understand how physiology and physics affect divers.

No! Diving science is a professional theoretical knowledge course with high value. For those who want to dive, it’s a good idea to schedule a few Fun Dives to experience the practical application of diving science theories. (Maybe we can bring a balloon underwater to see Boyle's Law in action!)
Yes! As long as your certification agency meets the standards of the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), your certification is valid internationally. Therefore, you can choose the specialty courses you want to take at your current diving level!
SSI and PADI are both internationally recognized diving systems. Both systems adhere to the standards of the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), so whether you take course with SSI or PADI, the certification you receive will be equally valid worldwide. For beginners, choosing a good dive shop and instructor to guide you is more important than selecting between the two systems.
A good diving system should not only have sufficient international recognition but also consistently update its training standards and materials. It should offer diverse advanced education options for divers to continually improve their skills and knowledge. Whether it's scuba diving, freediving, or mermaiding, SSI is considered by the Peninsula Hain coaching team to be a dedicated and comprehensive international diving education system.
