Begin your dive qualifications in earnest with our SSI Open Water Diver Course
This is the most popular entry-level certification for scuba diving in the world. The SSI Open Water Diver gives you a certification, recognised worldwide, as an autonomous scuba diver.
And, of course, it's your first step in a lifetime of adventure and discovery of the fascinating world under the waves!
You don't need any diving experience to take the SSI Open Water diver course: we will teach you everything you need to know. The only prerequisites are that you must be at least 10 years old, and you must be able to swim. We're not looking for Olympic athletes here! We just need to know that you are safe in the water and could take care of yourself in the event of equipment failure.
Many novice divers may have already taken a Try Scuba experience, and in certain circumstances that can count towards your Open Water certification. For example, if you're not sure you want to take the full SSI Open Water course, we can start off with a half-day Try Scuba program. If you should decide that you don't want to carry on with the full course, for any reason, then you only pay for your Try Scuba session. So what have you got to lose?
If you don't have time, or don't feel ready for the full course, you can take the intermediate level course, SSI Scuba Diver and get a certification for supervised scuba diving in just two days.
