Course overview

Try scuba diving for the first time with the SSI Try Scuba experience in Krabi, guided by an instructor on the calm Andaman reefs near Ao Nang. After a short briefing you make shallow dives among tropical fish and coral, with the option to head out to the Phi Phi reefs by speedboat. It is a relaxed, low-pressure way to start the sport.

The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience, not a certification. The skills you complete can count toward the SSI Open Water Diver course if you continue your training.

Where you'll dive in Krabi

Try Scuba dives use the sheltered local reefs boated from Ao Nang, or the Phi Phi sites by speedboat in the November-to-April season. The warm 27-30°C Andaman water suits beginners.
