Overview
The Basic Diver course gives you a first real taste of what it’s like to become a certified diver.
You’ll complete a short theory session, confined water training, and one open water dive — all under the supervision of an SSI instructor.
This program is ideal for vacationers who want to go beyond Try Scuba but don’t have time for the full certification.
If you decide to continue, all skills and credits count toward your SSI Open Water Diver course.
