  • Trip introduction

    The SSI Open Water Diver course is the most popular diving course in the world, and for good reason.

You'll also have a chance to see bigger fish and dive within a more experienced community. In the SSI Open Water Diver (OWD) course, you'll be certified to go to a maximum depth of 18 metres or 60 feet. You'll train in 5 theory modules, practise in shallow water, and will enjoy 4 open water dives.
