Become a certified Open Water Diver and dive independently with other Open Water Divers up to 18m!
SSI Open Water Diver
The SSI Open Water Diver is probably the most popular entry-level course and teaches you everything you need to know to become an autonomous scuba diver. Therefore upon completion of this course you’ll be able to dive together with a buddy (of your or a higher level) up to 18m.
The Open Water Diver course contains six theory modules, three of the Scuba Diver and three of the Open Water Diver. In addition you are going to participate in six confined water sessions and four certifying open water dives (two of the Scuba Diver and 2 of the Open Water Diver).
This course focus, in addition to the basics of the Scuba Diver part, on dive planning, the buddy system, and how to handle and avoid basic stress and emergency situations (If you are interested in learning more about that check out the SSI Stress & Rescue Course).
