SSI Scuba Diver

The Scuba Diver certification is the practical choice for people who want a real qualification but can't commit to the full Open Water Diver programme in one go. You come out certified to dive in open water under the direct supervision of a dive professional.

At CS Diving Center, that supervision comes from a team with SSI AIT and PADI OWSI credentials — instructors trained to the highest SSI level. The certification is upgradeable to SSI Open Water Diver with additional training, so it's a genuine step rather than a dead end.

For visiting divers based in Porto or passing through Leixões who want a few structured dives without a week-long commitment, this is the format that fits.
