Sharpen your offshore skills, with this essential specialty for any diver serious about exploring what Tasmania's coastline has to offer. Some of Tasmania's most spectacular dive sites are only accessible by boat — and knowing how to dive from a vessel confidently opens up a whole new world of underwater exploration. The SSI Boat Diver specialty program teaches you everything you need to dive safely and comfortably from any type of boat, anywhere in the world.
