The SSI Try Scuba program is a relaxed and safe introduction to diving, designed for individuals curious about the underwater world but not yet ready for a full course. It requires no prior experience and involves minimal theory, focusing on practical elements. Participants receive direct supervision from an SSI Professional, learn essential skills in a safe pool setting, and gain access to a digital learning environment. It's highlighted as an ideal stepping stone towards the Open Water Diver certification.
To enroll in the SSI Indoor Diving course, participants must be at least 10 years old and hold a certification equivalent to Open Water Diver.
