The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience rather than a certification, and is recorded on the SSI digital platform. If you continue, it can be credited toward the SSI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver program.

Where you'll dive in Rasdhoo Atoll

Try Scuba dives use the sheltered shallow reefs near the island, such as Three Palm and Veligandu East, where calm water and 25-metre-plus visibility make for an easy, enjoyable first dive; reef fish and turtles are common even on this introductory dive, with the calmest conditions from November to April.
