The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory program rather than a certification. Completed skills can be credited toward the SSI Open Water Diver course should you continue.

Where you'll dive in Ambergris Caye

Try Scuba uses the sheltered, clear shallows inside the Belize Barrier Reef off Ambergris Caye. Gentle conditions and good visibility through the April-to-November peak make a strong first dive.
