The SSI Scuba Diver certification on Neil Island offers a faster path to diving, qualifying you to 12 metres under professional supervision on the island's sheltered reefs. It is a good choice when your Andaman itinerary is tight but you still want to dive.
SSI Scuba Diver is delivered free through the digital app with performance-based repeatable sessions, certifies to 12 m under supervision, and upgrades to full Open Water with an SSI digital card.
Training uses Neil's gentle shallow reefs like Nemo Reef (5-12 m) and Coral Safari, whose calm water and abundant small reef life suit beginners. The November-May season and warm 27-30C water ease first dives.
