The SSI Open Water Diver certification is globally-recognised and the most popular entry level course.
If you want to start exploring the magic of the oceans around the world, this is the course for you!
On completion of the course, you will be certified to dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres (for 15 years+). Junior Open Water Divers (10 – 15 years) will be able to dive to 12 metres, with a qualified and responsible adult diver.
SSI Open Water Diver is also the starting point for a lifetime of underwater exploration. You can start to build more experience and take specialty training in particular areas of interest – wreck diving, deep diving, dry suit diving, navigation, night diving, boat diving, stress and rescue or enriched air nitrox (for safer diving and longer bottom time) are just a few of the possibilities.
