The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience rather than a certification. If you continue, it can count toward your SSI Open Water Diver course, with your instructor alongside you throughout.

Where you'll dive in Alor

Try Scuba uses Alor's shallow, sheltered reefs near the resort, well away from the strong currents of the outer sites, suited to first-timers in the calm April-to-November season.
