Course overview

SSI Basic Diver is a short, supervised entry-level programme that introduces real scuba skills and shallow open-water diving, a good fit for first-timers in Fujairah who want more than a single try dive. Training in the calm shallows off Snoopy Island, you learn core skills and dive to 12 metres with an instructor, building a base you can later extend to full Open Water Diver.
