Very nice solution for off boarding in my liberty ccr
SSI Science of Diving – Theory & Physics
Understand the "Why". Diving is a lot more than just floating underwater. The SSI Science of Diving course is a comprehensive Dry Course (no dives required) that explores how pressure affects your body, how your regulator works, and the math behind decompression. Viewed as the intellectual foundation of the DIR philosophy, this is the ultimate "missing link" for divers looking to transition from passengers to pilots.

Course Details
Understand the "Why".
Diving is a lot more than just floating underwater. If you’ve ever wanted to understand what’s really happening on your dives—how pressure affects your body, exactly how your regulator mechanics work, or the complex math running inside your dive computer—then the SSI Science of Diving Course is absolutely for you.
At XR Explorers, we believe this course is the "missing link" for many divers. It transforms you from a passenger into a pilot. You’ll come away with the knowledge that makes every dive safer, every decision smarter, and your entire diving experience profoundly better.
The Gateway to Pro & Tech (DIR Foundation)
At XR Explorers, we consider a deep understanding of diving science to be the intellectual foundation of the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy. You cannot "Do It Right" if you don't know why you are doing it. This is the most important academic course in the SSI system because it is the Gateway to Advanced Levels:
- Divemaster Prerequisite: You cannot become an SSI Dive Professional without this mandatory certification.
- Tech Foundation: If you plan to dive Extended Range, Trimix, or Closed Circuit Rebreathers (CCR) later, you need a rock-solid grasp of the physics and physiology taught here.
What You Will Learn
This is a 100% Dry Course (no wet dives are required). We cover five incredibly detailed modules:
- Physics: Gas laws, buoyancy, heat transfer, and light/sound behavior underwater.
- Physiology: How the human body reacts to pressure, nitrogen absorption, and how to prevent diving injuries.
- Decompression Theory: The science of bubbles, dive tables, and computer algorithms (Bühlmann, RGBM).
- Equipment: How your gear works mechanically (first stages, second stages, cylinders).
- The Aquatic World: Understanding tides, currents, waves, and delicate marine ecosystems.

Before taking sidemount, I thought twin tank is enough. However excellent training and experience change my mind. Special thanks to the best instructor “Yehia” 👌👌👌
Thank you, Hamad! I love hearing that. Twinsets are fantastic, but Sidemount definitely opens up a whole new world of flexibility and logistics. I am really glad we could change your mind and add another tool to your toolbox. Thanks for the trust and the kind words!

I’m proud to share that I’ve successfully completed my Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) course under the guidance of Captain Yehia.
This course wasn’t just about riding a scooter — it was about mastering control, precision, team coordination, and understanding the true potential of underwater mobility. Captain Yehia’s approach combined safety, fun, and technical excellence in a way that elevated the entire experience.
From perfecting neutral buoyancy while maneuvering to executing complex drills with calm and confidence, every moment added depth to my skills and awareness as a diver. His patience, keen eye for detail, and real-time feedback made a huge difference.
This is one more step in my technical diving journey — and with mentors like Yehia, the path forward feels both challenging and inspiring.
Next stop: deeper dives, longer bottom times, and more advanced missions.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Abdulrahman! You nailed the most important takeaway—that a DPV is a precision tool for the team, not just a ride. Watching you execute those complex drills while maintaining your buoyancy and awareness was impressive. I am honored to be part of your journey, and I am definitely ready when you are for those 'advanced missions.' Let’s get back in the water!

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to my instructor, Yahya, for his guidance and support throughout the DPV course. It was a privilege to learn under his instruction.
Thank you for the kind words, Ahmed. The privilege was truly ours—it was a pleasure having you in the class. We really appreciate your trust in Yehia's instruction and your dedication during the training. Enjoy the DPV dives!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and generous with both his time and expertise. He has a great ability to explain diving concepts in a clear and practical way, making learning both enjoyable and effective. His passion for diving and teaching really shows, and I would highly recommend training with him.
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words! Mastering a drysuit opens up a whole new world of diving, and I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the course and found the concepts practical and clear. Your dedication and positive attitude made it an absolute joy to teach. Thank you for the high recommendation, and I can't wait to see where your new drysuit skills take you. Wishing you many warm and amazing dives ahead! ❄️

I really enjoyed this training course and would recommend it to other divers who want to build real confidence. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone understood why we were doing each skill.
Thank you! I truly believe that understanding the 'why' behind a skill is just as important as the skill itself. That knowledge is where real confidence comes from. It was a pleasure having you in the class—keep applying what you learned!

I am truly grateful for Captain Yahia’s professionalism, guidance, support, and willingness to share his knowledge throughout the Divemaster course. His encouragement made it an unforgettable experience.
I really appreciate the kind words. Sharing knowledge and experience is the best part of being an instructor, and students like you make it easy. I’m glad you enjoyed the process—congratulations on a job well done!

I recently completed my sidemount diving training, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the experience. From the very beginning, the captain YEHIA made me feel comfortable and supported. He was patient, detailed, and always encouraging, which made learning a completely new setup much easier than I expected.
I truly appreciate your guidance, Thanks for your time and consideration.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nour! Learning a completely new configuration like Sidemount can be challenging, so I am really happy to hear that you felt supported and comfortable throughout the process. Your positive attitude is what made the learning easy. It was a pleasure training you!'
