The Shark Diving Specialty Course
"If the Sharks die, the Sea dies!"
SSI and SHARK PROJECT have decided to actively support the positive image of sharks by founding the SHARK DIVING Program.
Experience the fascination of sharks in an unforgettable way! Divers and non-divers have the chance to find out more about sharks and to learn the correct techniques when meeting sharks.
Dives are optional in this program and therefore it is a perfect "holiday-prep-specialty" before your diving vacation starts. You will be able to apply the knowledge you have gained to future shark dives.
SSI is donating 10% of the income from the SHARK DIVING Specialty Program to shark preservation. As a participant in the program you are making an active contribution to help secure the survival of sharks.
We offer FREE Online Training - with Digital Learning, you can study at your convenience anytime or anywhere. With the advancement of digital learning, and you can start learning right away.
Online Training gives you the background information you need to dive safely and allows you to study at your own pace through an interactive computer-based program.
Please Sign up for Online Training program so we can give you access to the online theory as soon as you book your course with Go Dive Lanta.
