SSI Basic Diver is a short entry-level certification that introduces real scuba skills and lets you complete two open-water dives under instructor supervision. On Zanzibar's gentle reefs near Mnemba Atoll you learn the fundamentals to a maximum of 12m, a good bridge between a first try-dive and the full Open Water course.
SSI Basic Diver is a limited entry-level certification covering core skills and two supervised dives to a maximum of 12m. The skills credit directly toward the full SSI Open Water Diver certification.
Basic Diver training uses the calm, shallow reefs near Mnemba Atoll and the sheltered coral gardens off Stone Town, where easy conditions in the July-to-February season suit first-time divers.
