Become a certified diver with the SSI Open Water Diver course in Port Blair, Andamans. Working through SSI's flexible digital learning, you build skills in confined water then complete four open-water training dives on the calm reefs around Chidiyatapu and the Andaman Sea, qualifying you to dive to 18 metres worldwide. No previous experience is required to start.
SSI Open Water Diver certifies you to dive to 18 metres worldwide and is recognised internationally, with the certification stored digitally in your SSI account. It uses SSI's flexible self-paced academics and leads into Advanced Adventurer and specialty training.
