SSI Basic Diver Course

Lanzarote Dive Sites: the Blue Hole at Playa Chica

Learn to Scuba Dive

Your first certification course in just one day!

Just like a Try Dive but SO much more than a Try Dive!

More time in the water!More fish!
More diving!More skills!
More fun!More depth!

AND it's your first steps towards becoming a certified Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver.

You'll be doing 2 dives. The first to a maximum depth of 6m where you will learn and practice some basic scuba diving skills: preparing your mask, how to find your regulator (the bit your breathe through) and how to clear water out of your mask as well as how to safely descend/ascend. On your second dive you'll repeat back to your instructor the skills you learnt on the first dive and then practice your finning and buoyancy when you go diving, this time to a maximum depth of 12m with your instructor.

Complete your digital learning kit before you come and once back at the dive centre we will log your dives, process your SSI Basic Diver e-certification and take a couple of photos too.

What's next?
Use this course to dive with an SSI professional up to 12m or to upgrade to Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver.
