The SSI Refresher / ReActivate pathway

The SSI Scuba Skills Update is a refresher rather than a new certification, recorded in MySSI. It is recommended for divers who have been inactive for six months or more before diving again.

Where you'll dive in Phuket

The update runs in Phuket's calm, shallow reef areas such as Kata, where warm water and gentle conditions provide an easy environment to regain skills before deeper diving.
