Course overview

The SSI Try Scuba experience gives first-timers their introduction to diving in the warm lagoons of Baa Atoll in the Maldives. Guided closely by an SSI professional, you learn a handful of basics and then explore a shallow reef near Dharavandhoo among turtles and reef fish. It is an experience, not a full certification, but it credits toward SSI Scuba Diver and Open Water training.

The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience under direct supervision rather than a certification. It uses SSI's digital platform and can be credited toward the SSI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver courses.

Where you'll dive in Baa Atoll

Try Scuba dives use the calm, shallow house reefs around Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, where warm 27-30°C water and easy conditions, often with turtles in view, suit complete beginners.
