The SSI Scuba Diver pathway

SSI Scuba Diver is a recognised partial certification covering the foundation of the Open Water Diver programme. Certified Scuba Divers dive to 12 metres with a professional and can upgrade to full SSI Open Water Diver by completing the remaining modules.

Where you'll dive in Banda Sea

Training uses the calm, shallow reefs of Ambon Bay, where warm 27-29°C water and rich critter life make a gentle setting for a first certification. The bay is sheltered and diveable year-round.
