The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience rather than a certification. If you continue, the completed skills can be credited toward the SSI Open Water Diver course through the SSI digital training record.

Where you'll dive in Cyprus

SSI Try Scuba takes place in sheltered, shallow sites like Green Bay near Ayia Napa, where calm Mediterranean water and clear visibility make for a relaxed first dive across the April-to-November season.
