What to expect

The SSI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: knowledge development, confined water dives, and open water dives. During the knowledge development module, you’ll gain an understanding of the principles, concepts, and terminology essential for safe and enjoyable diving. In the confined water dives module, you’ll learn and practice diving techniques in a pool or conditions similar to a pool. Additionally, you’ll enjoy one or more mini dives that will guide you through the same steps to follow when diving in open water. To complete your training, you’ll practice, apply, and demonstrate what you’ve learned during four open water dives at Catalina Islands. This will allow you to gain confidence, have fun and keep learning.
