SSI Try Scuba (1 dive)

This is SSI’s beginner program.

You only need between 2 and 3 hours of your vacation, from when we pick you up at your accommodation until we take you back.

We’ll provide a brief 15-minute theory session where we’ll cover the basics.

We don’t want to overwhelm you with unnecessary information because we’ll be with you throughout the entire duration of the activity

This is what you’ll  you’ll learn before getting in the water

  • Basic equipment operation.
  • How to breathe underwater.
  • Hand signals and basic skills.
  • Safety rules.

And it’s time to dive!

At the dive site, we gear up and enter right from the beach, with the water waist-deep, so you can learn to breathe at the surface.

When you feel ready and comfortable, you’ll descend to just one meter to acclimate to breathing, the gear, and the environment.

We’ll practice the skills we’ve learned so you feel more confident and capable of handling any situations that may arise.

Once you feel comfortable and ready, we’ll take a swim underwater, reaching a maximum depth of 5 meters.

So, you’ll experience what diving truly means.

Ready to Dive? Here’s What You Need for the SSI Try Scuba Program

Just a Few Simple Steps:

  • Age 8 or older.
  • Fill out a medical questionnaire and the SSI forms available at our center.

Basic Diver SSI (2 Dives)

This is the other SSI program for beginners.

Plan for a bit more time since you’ll be making 2 dives. Approximately 4 hours.

The first dive follows the same procedure as the Try Scuba.

Then, we’ll take a second dive where we can go a little deeper, if you’re up for it. But don’t worry, we won’t exceed 12 meters.

We’ll have another briefing to go over the dive.

And now, we’ll take it a step further.

We’ll show you how to use the buoyancy control device so you can adjust your buoyancy. This gives you more freedom to move around. 

You’ll feel weightless… as if you’re flying.

You’ve already had a taste of diving on the first dive, and on this second one, you’re going to enjoy it even more.

Aquatis Diving Lanzarote is here to guide you through your first dive in Lanzarote

My name is Sam, and I am the owner and director of Aquatis.

I started diving at the age of 8, and became an instructor at 18.

At just 14, I began working at a dive center here in Lanzarote in exchange for certifications.

I turned 18 on December 31st; a month later, I had my Divemaster certification, and two months after that, I completed my instructor course.

Here’s the FAQ´s section in case you still have  doubts about your try dive in Lanzarote

Take a look, and if you still have questions, just reach out by phone or email, and we’ll be happy to help.

You must be at least 8 years old for the Try Dive program and 10 years old for the Basic Diver program.

No, you just need to fill out a medical questionnaire about your health. If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, then you will need to bring a medical certificate.

You must wait 12 hours after finishing your dive before catching a flight. This means you cannot dive and fly on the same day. 

If you do two or more dives in one day or on consecutive days, you should wait a minimum of 18 hours before flying, although waiting 24 hours is recommended.

 Keep this in mind when booking your dives, and if possible, schedule them early in your vacation in case you want to do more.

You don’t earn a certification as such. 

To achieve that, you’ll need to complete the Scuba Diver or Open Water course. However, participating in the Try Dive program awards you a certificate verifying your underwater try dive experience. 

Opting for the Basic Diver program grants you a certificate and credits that can be used towards the SSI Scuba Diver or Open Water courses.

We provide all the diving gear you’ll need. Just bring your swimsuit (please 😬), towel, and change of clothes.

Yes, definitely. Book as soon as possible because spots fill up quickly. Don’t miss out on your diving experience—it’s a fantastic opportunity. 

Also, don’t worry because if you can’t dive on your reserved date, we can try to reschedule for another day or provide a full refund if you notify us 24 hours in advance.
