Course Structure – A Step-by-Step Guide

Our SSI Open Water Diver Course is structured into three main phases:

Before heading into the water, you’ll complete the academic portion through SSI Digital Learning. This online module allows you to study at your own pace before reviewing key concepts with an instructor. Topics covered include:

  • Diving physics and physiology
  • Equipment setup and maintenance
  • Underwater communication and safety procedures
  • Understanding pressure, buoyancy, and air management

Your first in-water experience will take place in a confined, controlled environment. Here, you’ll learn and practice essential scuba skills, such as:

  • Buoyancy control and proper weighting

  • Mask clearing and regulator recovery

  • Breathing techniques for better air consumption

  • Emergency ascent and buddy rescue procedures

  • Finning techniques for efficient movement

This phase ensures you are comfortable and confident before heading into open water.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time for the real adventure! You’ll complete four open water dives under instructor supervision, applying your knowledge in a natural underwater setting. Skills assessed include:

  • Underwater navigation using a compass

  • Controlled descents and ascents

  • Emergency air-sharing exercises

  • Gas management and dive planning

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded the SSI Open Water Diver certification, allowing you to dive globally.
