Open Water Course by SSI
Dive into the underwater world with our Open Water course, a 5-day journey to master safe and enjoyable diving, following SSI - the world leader in diver education.
The course includes 5 theoretical lessons, covering diving rules and regulations for safety and enjoyment. You'll also experience 5 confined water dives, where you'll receive training in safe and protected waters.

During each confined water dive, we'll explore nearby shallow reefs, preparing you for future enjoyable and safe open-water dives. The training dives in confined water occur in depths where you can stand and up to 6 meters deep.
After completing the confined water dives, we'll venture into the open water, gradually progressing to a depth of 18 meters.
