Take your first breaths underwater with SSI's Try Scuba experience in Pondicherry. After a pool introduction, you'll dive the warm Bay of Bengal to about 12m with an instructor, meeting reef fish and exploring the fish-aggregation structures that keep Pondicherry's shallows lively.
SSI's Try Scuba is a non-certification program built on digital materials, with the skills designed to flow directly into the SSI Open Water Diver course later.
Try Scuba dives take place on Pondicherry's shallow Bay of Bengal reefs to about 12m, where calm Oct-May seas and 27-30C water suit first-timers. Expect parrotfish, butterflyfish and reef life on the fish-aggregation structures close to shore.
