SSI Try Dive (1 dive)
This is SSI’s beginner program.
You only need between 2 and 3 hours of your vacation, from when we pick you up at your accommodation until we take you back.
We’ll provide a brief 15-minute theory session where we’ll cover the basics.
We don’t want to overwhelm you with unnecessary information because we’ll be with you throughout the entire duration of the activity
This is what you’ll learn before getting in the water
- Basic equipment operation
- How to breathe underwater
- Hand signals and basic skills
- Safety rules
At the dive site, we gear up and enter right from the beach, with the water waist-deep, so you can learn to breathe at the surface.
When you feel ready and comfortable, you’ll descend to just one meter to acclimate to breathing, the gear, and the environment.
We’ll practice the skills we’ve learned so you feel more confident and capable of handling any situations that may arise.
Once you feel comfortable and ready, we’ll take a swim underwater, reaching a maximum depth of 5 meters.
So, you’ll experience what diving truly means.
