Try Scuba Diving (SSI)
Offered by Sea Urchin
Kyiv
Course Description
The Try Scuba Diving program is the entry point for anyone wanting to experience breathing underwater before committing to a full course. Sessions take place in Kyiv under the supervision of Oleksandr, an SSI AIT Instructor (#68138), which means the quality control from the first breath is set at professional-development level. The format is built around comfort and safety in confined water — ideal for absolute beginners with no prior experience. A gift certificate version is available, making it a practical option for birthdays or introductory presents.
Because the club operates in Kyiv, pool-based training is the starting point before any open-water progression. Students who complete the Try Scuba Diving session and want to continue can move directly into the full Open Water Diver track without repeating confined-water work. Instruction is conducted in Ukrainian and Russian. No prior certification or swimming background is listed as a requirement in the club's materials.
