✅ Teamwork,✅ Awareness, ✅Standardization.

When planning a ghost net recovery we need to prepare to face many difficulties and risks.

This could be too overwhelming for even the most tough individual.

That’s why we always work as a team… with complete trust.

🔱 Trust in what we are doing,
🤠 how we are doing it,
👥 and who we are doing it with.

Thanks to the explorers at the XDEEP Exploration Support Program, we are moving today to Kaatiala Mine, Kuortane, Finland, to refresh ourselves on the origins of the project, which continues and is still being developed.

The main goal of the Finland Underground project is to use advanced photogrammetric techniques to create a three-dimensional model of the Kaatiala mine in the municipality of Kurotane, Finland. This model will enable the provision of virtual cave interiors using augmented reality technology to both divers and non-divers. Thanks to the use of the latest 3D imaging technologies and image processing assisted by AI techniques, it will be possible to immerse oneself in exciting exploration, capturing even the smallest details.

"The Finland Underground project is still ongoing, as we continue to learn and try new innovative ways to make the final product as comprehensive as possible. Technologies related to underwater overhead environment 3D photogrammetry are still in the early stages of development, which is why we treat this project as a pilot and want it to last and evolve over many years." Mikko Paasi, Explorer

I've been working with Justin and Kei for a few months now and I'm very happy to announce that they are now both -CCR 60m trimix divers!. Happy faces and a real sense of satisfaction all round celebrating a well earned certification. We had some amazing dives with a vast amount of life to look at. Congratulations, gents. I look forward to diving with you both again soon.

Special thanks to and all the crew for wonderful service.

Scuba Diving International believes dive professionals should be able to cater to their students’ educational needs and customers buying preferences, just like one mask or one type of fin doesn’t fit every single diver.

Not every student learns in the same way or in the same order. We want to support your choices and options as well as theirs. We support many business models from independent instruction to multi agency dive centers. We value your business and trust you to make choices that best work for you, your students, and your business.

SDI has maintained a history of supporting our members and trusting their autonomy. We support different teaching styles, doing skills that best work for you, using the gear and equipment that best suits you. Most importantly we support how you want to run your business.

We are here to encourage you, earn your trust and not to force you into business with us. We want to earn your business every day and we want you to choose a training agency that
trusts and supports you.
