Scuba Diver

The SSI Scuba Diver course at Diver's Club Crete is a two-day program that gets you into the open water along the north coast of Crete without requiring the full Open Water Diver commitment. Four theory sessions of about 40 minutes each, four confined water sessions in the pool or in front of the center's beach, and two open water dives.

The Scuba Diver certification allows you to dive under direct supervision of a Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters. In practice, that means you can join the center's guided boat dives to shallower sites like Mononaftis or Lygaria — you're in the water with experienced guides rather than diving independently.

This certification is a sub-program of the Open Water Diver. To convert it later, you only need two more theory lessons, two pool sessions, and two sea dives at any SSI center worldwide. It's a useful option for vacationers with limited days who want a recognized certification to take home.

Training takes place in the warm, clear waters of Agia Pelagia, with the center's Aqualung and Cressi equipment provided.
