Prerequisites
To enroll in the SSI Open Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must

  • Be 10 years or older (SSI requires an extra registration step for students under 13 years due to international internet laws

The Fun Part

The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you’ll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your SSI Instructor.

The Scuba Gear You Use

In the SSI Open Water Diver course, you learn to use basic scuba gear including a dive computer, and standard accessories. The equipment you wear varies somewhat, depending upon whether you’re diving in tropical, temperate or cold water

Contact us to find out more about the gear you’ll use during this course. You can find everything you need for your course and to dive in our shop at Diving Javea.

The Learning Materials You Need

SSI offers a variety of home-study materials for the Open Water Diver course. While eLearning is the most convenient option, you may also chose a book or on-line media.

SSI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.

Note: Enroll in the SSI Open Water Diver Course Online for immediate computer-based access to the manual and video integrated into seamless, guided online learning.
