This globally recognized certification is the best way to begin your lifelong adventure as a diver. Personalized training is combined with in-water sessions to ensure you have the skills and experience needed to feel truly comfortable underwater. You, too, deserve an SSI Open Water Diver certification! On the first evening, we’ll get together so you can meet your fellow students and the instructors. The following days are dedicated to practical training, during which we’ll dive in the lake near the dive center. In addition to the dives we’ll be doing, there will also be time for theory lessons.

The SSI Extended Range Foundations program offers all divers the opportunity to expand their advanced diving skills. Learn more about using dual-set technical equipment and build on your basic skills to master buoyancy, trim, finning techniques, positioning, and communication. The Extended Range Foundations program provides additional training on top of existing certifications to increase the diver’s confidence and control in the water. All training dives are completed in a pool or controlled aquatic environment at a depth of less than 12 meters. Upon completion of this program, you will earn the SSI Extended Range Foundations certification.
