Course Details

Get Back in the Water with Confidence.

Life happens, and diving skills can get rusty. The SSI Scuba Skills Update is designed specifically for certified divers who want to refresh their knowledge and muscle memory before their next underwater adventure.

It doesn’t matter if it’s been a few months or several years since your last dive—this course is the perfect way to regain your confidence in a highly controlled environment under the strict guidance of XR Explorers' expert instructors.

What We Review

We cover the absolute essentials to ensure you are safe and stress-free when you return to the ocean:

  • Buoyancy Control: Dialing in your exact weight requirements and horizontal trim.
  • Emergency Procedures: Practicing out-of-air drills, mask clearing, and regulator recovery.
  • Equipment Assembly: Refreshing your memory on safely setting up and testing your kit.

The XR Explorers Upgrade: DIR Integration

For those looking for more than just a basic refresher, this course acts as a massive equipment upgrade. We provide premium DIR (Doing It Right) equipment for this session.

Furthermore, your session will be conducted using Nitrox 32%, introducing you to the benefits of enriched air.

Hamad A. (Al Asimah, Kuwait)

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!

Abdulrahman A. (Hawalli, Kuwait)

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 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 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!'
