Ease back into diving with the SSI Scuba Skills Update in Hikkaduwa, well suited to certified divers returning after a break. You review key safety knowledge and rehearse essential skills in shallow water before a relaxed dive on the calm house reef. It is the simplest way to restore your confidence on Sri Lanka's gentle south coast before exploring the reefs and wrecks.
The SSI Scuba Skills Update refreshes existing divers rather than awarding a new certification, and is logged in the SSI app. SSI certifications do not expire, but a skills update is recommended after time away from diving.
The skills update uses Hikkaduwa's sheltered house reef in warm 27-29°C water, where calm conditions and good visibility through the November-to-April season give a stress-free environment to return to diving.
