The Basic Diver Course is an excellent way to experience scuba diving for the first time without committing to a full certification. It’s designed for beginners who want a safe, enjoyable, and well-guided introduction to the underwater world.
The program begins with a short theory session covering essential safety rules, basic equipment use, and simple underwater communication. You’ll then practice fundamental skills in confined water, such as breathing underwater, clearing your mask, and maintaining basic buoyancy, all under the close supervision of one of our Instructors.
After completing the introductory training, you’ll enjoy an open water dive in the ocean to a maximum depth of 40 feet (12 meters), where you’ll experience the gorgeous Roatan reef and it’s abundant marine life.
Upon completion, you’ll receive a Basic Diver recognition that is valid for 6 months. This program is considered the first part of the Open Water Diver course and can be credited by other SSI dive centers if you choose to continue your certification elsewhere.
