PLONGÉE SCAPHANDRE

The SSI Scuba Diver is the shorter path to a first open-water certification — less classroom time than the full Open Water, and a depth limit of 12 m, always accompanied by a professional instructor. At L'Océana VSM, the practical sessions run from the lac de Cazaux, which keeps conditions manageable while still providing a real open-water environment.

The centre handles the full course package: training, dives, and the certification exam. The SSI certification fees are 75 € and include a lifetime digital certification, a lifetime digital training kit, and a lifetime digital logbook — all handled through the SSI platform.

Minimum age is 10. No prior experience is required. The Scuba Diver level is internationally recognised and can be upgraded to the full Open Water Diver certification later by completing the remaining requirements.

All equipment is provided during the course. A medical certificate is required and must be presented on the first day of training. The centre's instructors hold the French state diploma (moniteur d'État) and are accredited by SSI.
