The SSI Scuba Diver certification is a fast-track credential suited to a short Pondicherry trip, earned in roughly two days. You'll dive the warm Bay of Bengal to 12m under supervision, building real skills on the reefs and fish-aggregation sites off India's east coast.
SSI Scuba Diver uses digital materials and a performance-based model, upgrades to SSI Open Water Diver, and certifies with a digital SSI credential.
SSI Scuba Diver dives stay at 12m on Pondicherry's gentle Bay of Bengal reefs. Calm Oct-May seas and 27-30C water create easy learning conditions among reef fish, parrotfish and butterflyfish on the shallow fish-aggregation structures.
