Who should try this experience?

The Scuba Diver course is a subset of the Open Water Diver course. If you’re short on time but really want to become a diver, the Scuba Diver rating might be right for you – particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily with a dive guide. This course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification, if that’s your ultimate goal. Scuba Divers are qualified to: – Dive under the direct supervision of a Professional to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet. – Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in dive activities as long as properly supervised. – Continue dive training by completing the Open Water Diver certification and taking certain specialty diver courses. To enroll in a Scuba Diver course (or Junior Scuba Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required, but you can try it first through the Discover Scuba Diving program.

What will you learn?

Using online learning, confined and open water dives, the SSI Scuba Diver program is a perfect foundation to become a confident and safe diver. You will learn all you need to scuba dive in open water up to 12 meters deep with an SSI Professional. In this program, you will complete almost half of the Open Water Diver course training and can upgrade your certification easily. You just need to complete the remaining academic and confined water sessions, plus two open water training dives.

The Learning Materials You Need

Get started by registering for Open Water Diver Online – eLearning option. The web-based system gives you the background information you need to dive safely and allows you to study at your own pace through an easy-to-use, interactive program. You only need to complete the first three sections, but have a year to complete the whole program if you choose to go on to earn your Open Water Diver certification. There are other home-study materials you can choose from including the Open Water Diver TouchTM (a tablet app) and the Open Water Diver Manual and Open Water Diver Video (a book and DVD package).

What scuba gear will you use?

You learn to use basic scuba gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device, and a tank.
