Course will enable you to dive to 12m with an SSI Diving Professional and you can use this course as a stepping stone to completing your SSI Open Water Course at
a later date.

it is you are doing! Additional scuba skills include: setting up your own equipment, buddy checks, mask removal and replace underwater, alternate air
sharing with your dive buddy and practicing buoyancy and finning techniques.
There is a digital learning kit to that you complete before we start the in water training which includes information of the skills you'll be learning and
demonstrating back to your instructor, as well as all the dive theory you need to know so that you can pass the final exam and become a certified SSI Scuba Diver.
