We have the equipment, facilities, and team to accompany you in your Open Water course.

Because we would like you to return.
What is the SSI Open Water Diver programme?
Very simple... The course consists of 3 parts.
1
Theory part
You have 6 lessons and learn the basic principles of diving.
Understanding how and why you can dive, how you can handle the equipment, safety rules...
And you get enough material to impress friends in a conversation.
2
Training in confined water
Your first contact with the water
During this session, you learn to set up the equipment, breathe underwater, resolve problems, and handle the equipment and the environment. All in the controlled conditions of a swimming pool.
So you feel more confident, and you only have to worry about learning skills and practicing.
3
Open water training
It's time to get down to business...
You will have to make 4 open water dives.
This means... in the sea.
In these dives, you practice the skills you learnt in the pool, develop your buoyancy control, and get a front-row seat to the spectacle of marine life.

Digital Manual: A manual that you can access right from the first moment and in any place. Study at your own rhythm and with no stress.
-
Full scuba diving equipment: You can choose from a large variety of sizes to adapt quickly and enjoy from the very beginning.

Why should you do your diving course with Us?
Do you know what?
All scuba diving courses are pretty much the same.
Theory is the same, the same skills and safety rules.
Because the aim is the same at the end... You just want to dive.
The differences are always made by the dive center and the team of people who accompany you.
That is why it is my turn to convince you to choose us.
All team members speak at least two languages.
Together we speak Spanish, English, German, and French.
The only language we are missing is Swahili.
Pick up all over the island
From Playa Blanca to Costa Teguise. No matter where you are staying.
We will come and pick you up from your accommodation with no problem.
And the best thing is that it's FREE
We have been in the business for 22 years.
So much time in the diving industry means we know how to do things, and we know what you expect from us.
We are very proud to say that we have been open for over 22 years.
Dive with friends.
We carry scuba diving inside us, and it is part of every moment in our lives.
We always try to pass on our passion for it, giving the best of ourselves in everything we do.
That's why our wonderful divers come back every year.
Top-quality and well-maintained gear.
We know the importance of diving with good equipment for you.
We renew our equipment regularly and keep it checked and in perfect condition for diving.
We want you to feel safe and just worry about enjoying your dive.
Environmentally friendly
We do not use disposable plastic or harmful sunscreens.
We also clean the ocean while diving.
What other people say about us
We could tell you that we are the best, that we have the best teachers and so on...
But we prefer that other students who have been in your situation tell you about their experiences.

What is the difference between the PADI Open Water Diver course and the SSI Open Water Diver course?
The PADI Open Water Diver course and the SSI Open Water Diver course offer you the same worldwide recognized certification with the same attributions.
But there are differences between the training offered by Padi and the one offered by SSI that will interest you:
-
SSI has a more versatile and intuitive online study platform.
-
SSI has the manuals of all its courses in more than 40 languages.
-
With SSI you have access to the APP where you not only have your manuals. You also have information about centers, dives, and a log book. You will have everything at your fingertips and with easy access.
Do I have to go to the center to do the theory part?
No.
You can do all the theory part of the course wherever you want, but it is necessary that you do the questionnaires and the exam at the dive center.
We are also available to answer any questions you may have.
What can I do with the SSI Advanced Adventurer certification?
Your depth limit is up to 18 meters, and you can dive with a buddy with the same or higher certification.
Once you have the SSI Open Water certification, you can access further dive training.
What is the next level, and what do I need access to?
The next level we recommend you access is the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue. You can also access any of the SSI Speciality courses.
Do I have to book the course in advance?
Yes, the sooner, the better as we have limited places, and we need to know in advance, so we can plan everything as best as possible.
Don't worry if you book in advance, as you can cancel your booking up to 24 hours before, and we will refund you 100%.
