Courses
It takes minimum of 2-3 full days to complete the SSI Open Water Diver course; when the theory was done before you start with us via the SSI Digital eLearning (online study excluding the final exam).
We do recommend a medical examination carried out by an authorised physician for scuba diving. In the dive centre, you will be asked to complete a medical statement form before participating in the course. If any of the questions is answered YES, you are obliged to give us a medical certificate concerning your medical state. If that is not provided you are not able to attend the scuba diving course.
Therefore, we advise our future divers, to visit a physician in their native country before the beginning of the course. This is strongly recommended, if you have any pre-existing medical conditions concerning your ears, sinuses, respiratory and circulatory systems, or have had a surgery recently.
Also, you can check out the medical statement and fill it out before your visits.
The price for the course covers the online academics, full equipment and the instructor.
Certifications do not have an expiry date. If you are planning to dive after a long break, it is recommended to do a refreshment course.
