Course paths

Train for the dives you actually want to do.

On Vis, the split is simple: continuing education and specialties, SSI Extended Range, and IANTD technical courses. The current schedule should always be confirmed directly.

SSI recreational and continuing education

This is the path for new divers, refreshers, and certified divers who want buoyancy, nitrox, deep, navigation, night, stress and rescue, or wreck-related skills on Vis.

SSI Extended Range

The usual SSI technical requests here are Foundations, Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Normoxic Trimix, and wreck-focused courses. Confirm the current schedule and instructor scope before you build a trip around one course.

Machine-specific CCR training

CCR training is planned around JJ-CCR, XCCR, and iQsub FX CCR platforms. Ask directly which machine-specific courses are running for your dates.

IANTD technical courses

IANTD matters for divers planning decompression, trimix, and longer technical training. Exact course names and timing should be agreed directly with Manta before dates are fixed.

How course weeks are planned

The course has to fit the week

Sea state, boat access, student level, and the goal of the course decide how the week is built.

Not every course is a drop-in booking

Technical courses, team-based training, and anything involving additional gases or equipment need planning before travel.

Vis is good for skill work with a real objective

Buoyancy, trim, propulsion, wreck discipline, decompression procedure, and team work make more sense when the training leads into the dives you actually want to do here.

Professional-level training should be checked directly

If you are asking about SSI professional training or instructor-level courses, ask for the current scope before booking travel around it.

Before you book for a course

Send the current level and the real training goal.

Before Manta blocks out days for a course, send the details that affect the plan.

Next step

Send the course goal, dates, and team details.

Send your certifications, recent experience, dates, and whether the week is about continuing education, wreck training, decompression, or trimix.

If the course needs gases, extra cylinders, a technical setup, or a fixed team plan, say that in the first message.
