The SSI Basic Diver program is your first real step into certified diving in south-ari-atoll, letting you dive to 12m with an SSI professional on the atoll's warm house reefs. It is a flexible start that credits toward Scuba Diver or Open Water within six months.
SSI Basic Diver uses free digital materials and repeatable confined-water sessions, certifies diving to 12m with a professional, and credits toward SSI Scuba Diver or Open Water within six months.
Training stays in South Ari's calm, shallow house-reef zone to 12m, where warm 26-30C water and easy conditions help you build confidence. Even at this depth the coral teems with reef fish and you may spot a turtle or reef shark.
