Course overview

The SSI Go Pro pathway on Neil Island takes you from certified diver to dive professional in one continuous progression, building experience on the same Andaman reefs the island's diving pioneers first charted. Neil's low-volume operation means generous mentoring as you advance from Advanced through Rescue to Divemaster.

The SSI Go Pro / Zero to Hero pathway

SSI's Go Pro is delivered free through the digital app with performance-based, repeatable sessions across each level and certifies each rung with SSI digital cards through to professional Divemaster.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

The Go Pro journey covers Neil's whole spectrum, from shallow Nemo Reef and Coral Safari (5-20 m) for skill work to The Wall (10-30 m) for deep and rescue practice, with Napoleon wrasse, turtles and snappers as regular company. The steady November-May season and 27-30C water support the long water hours.
