SSI / PADI CERTIFICATION
Master the science behind every dive and elevate your technical understanding to a new level with the Science of Diving course.
During this specialty, you’ll delve into the physical and physiological principles that directly influence your safety underwater.
It’s a 100% theoretical program in eLearning format, designed to reinforce your judgment, improve your decision-making, and consolidate a solid scientific foundation within the SSI or PADI system. Upon completion, you’ll obtain the official Science of Diving certification.
The Science of Diving is an advanced theory specialty for divers (minimum Open Water): the scientific basis of the dive, from physics to marine ecology.
Unlike our other diving courses, focused on practical skills, this training covers exclusively the theory behind recreational and advanced diving. It is conducted in a 100% eLearning format, without water sessions, and is aimed at reinforcing your judgment, your safety, and your analytical skills as a diver.
Upon completion, you will obtain the official Science of Diving certification.
During the Science of Diving course you will develop a solid scientific foundation that will allow you to understand in depth the physical and physiological principles involved in each dive.
You will understand how pressure, buoyancy, and the laws of gases act in the underwater environment, and how these principles condition the planning and safety of each dive.
You will analyze how the human body responds to pressure and the breathing of compressed gases, understanding from a scientific basis decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis, and barotrauma.
You will study the fundamentals of decompression models, the functioning of tables, and the absorption and release of gases in tissues.
You will understand how regulators, dive computers, and control systems work, understanding their design and their impact on safety.
You will explore the basic principles of marine ecosystems, tides, currents, and the responsible interaction of the diver with the environment.

New dive center in St Paul's Bay, right on Bugibba's seafront. Cirkewwa, Gozo and Comino are just minutes away, with Malta's most famous dive sites at your doorstep.
Que gran experiencia acabo de vivir! Demasiado ordenado todo, los equipos estaban en perfectas condiciones. La experiencia comenzó a las 8:00 am, éramos un grupo de 4 personas y todo se sintió muy bien planeado. Erik y Guillaume estuvieron pendientes de todos los detalles durante toda la inmersión. A pesar de que estab…
He tenido una experiencia increíble con esta empresa. Desde el primer momento todo fue muy profesional y bien organizado. El equipo estaba en perfectas condiciones y transmitía mucha seguridad en todo momento. Los instructores Aurele y Roberto, fueron atentos, cercanos y muy profesionales. Explican todo con calma, hace…
Super experiencia de buceo non-stop. 10 inmersiones. 3 días. Inmersiones chulísimas. El mejor trato... agradecer sobre todo a Enol, Roberto, Aurele y Míreia por ser unos excelentes guías... Bruno y Dani por esa pedazo de nocturna ¡¡Gracias!!... a Inán por su asistencia técnica... En resumen deseando volver a ver esos p…
He estado buceando con Scuba Malta esta semana y la experiencia ha sido genial ! El buceo en Malta es increible y el equipo humano de Scuba Malta un 10! Gracias Fernanda, Dani y resto del equipo, os recomiendo!
He venido esta semana a Malta y he tenido la mala suerte que toda ha sido de tormentas y lluvias. Pese a todo, Scuba Malta me ha estado llevando a bucear con Lisa, que es una excelente instructora y Carlos que también domina el tema. Así que dentro del mal tiempo, me han ayudado a poder mejorar mi técnica de buceo.
Muy buena experiencia. El instructor Carlos es excelente, explica muy bien y brinda un muy buen acompañamiento durante toda la actividad. El lugar donde se realiza la actividad genera una gran experiencia, gracias a los peces y al barco que se puede observar. El área administrativa es muy atenta. Además, la sopa que ha…
He estado en Malta del 29 de diciembre al 5 de enero y, gracias a Scubafinders y a Scuba Malta, he vivido una de las mejores experiencias de buceo de mi vida. En total 20 inmersiones, incluyendo el curso Advanced y la especialidad de Deep Dive (SSI), perfectamente organizadas y con un nivel de profesionalidad excepcio…

The Science of Diving course? It’s your deep dive into the core science that makes diving tick! We’re talking the nitty-gritty of diving physics, the human body’s underwater tango, decompression theory demystified, and a real understanding of your gear and the underwater world. Nail this, and you’ll plan dives like a pro and stay safer doing it.
Nope! The Science of Diving course is pure brain-food – 100% theory, delivered online. So, no splashing around required. It’s all about leveling up your knowledge from the comfort of your own space.
Expect to dedicate around 6 to 8 hours to this course, but hey, everyone learns at their own pace! You’ll devour the content online through SSI’s or PADI’s slick digital training platform. Dive in when you’re ready, and soak it all up.
Get ready to unlock the secrets of diving! You’ll master the physical laws governing gases, understand how your body REALLY reacts under pressure, decode decompression models, get intimate with your dive gear, and truly grasp the underwater environment. It’s about making you a smarter, safer diver.
Boom! You’ll walk away with the official Science of Diving certification – a globally recognized badge of honor within the Scuba Schools International system. This cert proves you’re serious about diving knowledge.
This course is crafted for certified divers – typically Open Water Diver level or higher – who are hungry to truly UNDERSTAND the science behind every dive. If you’re thirsty for knowledge, this is your next level.
This course is your secret weapon! It’ll arm you with a rock-solid understanding of the physics, physiology, and decompression processes involved in diving. This means you’ll make smarter, safer decisions and interpret those dive profiles like a freakin’ expert. Dive smarter, not harder!
