Course Description:

The SSI Open Water course consists of theory, most of which can be studied online or on your mobile phone or tablet. It can be done at your own pace and in your own time. We supplement the digital training with theory sessions, where we can clarify further questions or go into more depth on topics. During these sessions, we present the sometimes more complex contexts in a child-friendly form.

Then there are at least 3 – 4 sessions in our heated pool designed for diver training making the first steps easier.

Finally, there are 4 open water dives. This can be in The Upper-Sûre lake or other lakes in the region. You can also finish the open water dives worldwide in another SSI dive centre of your choice.
