The SSI Discover Scuba pathway

SSI Try Scuba is an introductory experience rather than a certification, and what you complete can be credited toward the SSI Open Water Diver course if you continue. Recognition is logged digitally in the SSI app.

Where you'll dive in Seychelles

The experience uses Mahe's sheltered shallows near Beau Vallon, where calm 26-30C water makes an easy first dive over coral and granite reef. It can be enjoyed year-round.
