The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience rather than a certification, delivered through SSI's digital system. The skills you practise can be credited toward the SSI Open Water Diver course if you choose to continue.

Where you'll dive in Djibouti

Try Scuba uses sheltered, shallow reef sites in the Gulf of Tadjoura, where calm conditions and warm 24-30°C water through the October-to-February peak provide an easy, welcoming first dive.
