Open Water Diver
Offered by Sea Urchin

Course Description
The SSI Open Water Diver course at Морський Їжак is completed in nine lessons, covering confined-water skills in Kyiv's pool facilities and progressing to open-water dives. The club offers both a standard version and an Open Water Diver Premium track, as well as a Referral option for students who need to complete their open-water dives with an affiliated club abroad — practical for anyone traveling to Egypt or Mexico on a club trip immediately after their pool training.
Oleksandr holds SSI AIT Instructor status (#68138), meaning he's qualified not just to certify divers but to train other instructors under SSI — a credential that rarely appears at club level. Instruction is in Ukrainian and Russian. Gift certificates for this course are available. Family packages pair two or more students together, and a bundle combining OWD with four additional dives is also listed.
