If you’re eager to dive but have limited time or want a more gradual introduction.

This course offers a streamlined version of the SSI Open Water Diver course, providing a strong foundation in essential diving skills and knowledge.

What does it involve?

Diving Theory

This is where your adventure starts. You’ll dive into fundamental diving concepts, like the intriguing physics of the underwater world, how to handle your equipment, and crucial safety techniques. The best part? You can do all of this comfortably from your couch using the My SSI app.

Pool or Confined Water Training

 In a controlled setting, under the careful guidance of your instructor, you’ll get hands-on with essential skills. You’ll learn how to manage your gear without getting tangled up, and master breathing techniques underwater that keep you calm and relaxed. Safety procedures are a big focus too, ensuring everything is as safe as a comforting hug from your grandmother.

Open Water Dives

Now, it’s time to put your skills to the test. The course includes two beach dives in a secure environment, with your SSI instructor overseeing every step. You’ll practice exercises and skills both on the surface and underwater. Plus, you’ll enjoy an underwater tour to hone your buoyancy and marvel at marine life, all within a safe depth of 12 meters.

To join the SSI Scuba Diver course, you need to meet the following criteria:

  • Minimum age: You must be at least 10 years old.
  • Swimming skills: You don’t have to be an Olympic swimmer, but you should know how to swim. If you can stay afloat and move through the water, you’re ready to start.
  • Medical evaluation: You will need to complete a medical questionnaire.

No, you don’t need a medical certificate to sign up. 

All you need to do is complete a medical questionnaire with a few questions about your health. If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you’ll need to provide a medical certificate. 

You can download the questionnaire here.

With an SSI Scuba Diver certification, you can dive into the underwater world up to a depth of 12 meters, always under the supervision of a professional holding a Divemaster or higher certification.

And that’s not all. If you’re eager to continue, you can progress to the SSI Open Water Diver certification. All it takes is completing three more academic sessions, three confined water sessions, and two open water dives.

Once done, you’ll be ready to dive independently with a buddy who has the same or a higher certification level!

Absolutely! Even if you’re not a top-notch swimmer, you can still learn to dive. 

As divers, we use fins and a buoyancy control device, so swimming skills aren’t the main focus. However, there’s a simple test to make sure you’re comfortable in the water. 

You’ll need to float for 10 minutes and swim 200 meters or snorkel for 300 meters. The key is feeling at ease in the water and being in good health. So, with a little confidence, you’ll be ready to dive in and enjoy the wonders beneath the surface!

The course is divided into two exciting components: confined water exercises and open water practice. It’s designed in a compact and efficient format, taking place over one afternoon and one morning.

  • Afternoon: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
  • Morning: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM

You can book your start date, and we’ll organize the rest once you’re here. Or, if you prefer, just let us know the exact date you’d like to continue, and we’ll take care of everything.

Both the PADI Scuba Diver course and the SSI Scuba Diver course offer you a globally recognized certification with the same essential skills. However, there are some differences in the training provided by PADI and SSI that you might find interesting:

  • Manual Availability: SSI manuals are available in more than 40 languages, ensuring you can study in the language you’re most comfortable with.
  • My SSI App: With SSI, you gain access to a comprehensive app that not only holds your manuals but also offers information about dive centers, details of your dives, and a digital logbook to record all your underwater experiences. It’s all in one convenient place, right at your fingertips!
Download it here.

No, you don’t need to. You can complete all the theory, including quizzes and exams, right from the comfort of your home or wherever you feel most at ease. 

And if you have any questions, don’t worry! We’re always here to help you along the way.

Yes, it’s strongly recommended to book your course in advance. The earlier you reserve, the better, as spots are limited and we need time to prepare everything to ensure a smooth experience.

SSI advises waiting at least 24 hours after your final dive before taking a flight.
