**Continue your dive adventure with a Scuba Skills Update**

It is easy for dive skills to get rusty and to lose confidence when you have not dived for a while. With the SSI Scuba Skills Update, we will get you back in the water and diving with ease in no time. This scuba refresher course allows you to review and practice scuba skills you learned in your Open Water Diver program, under the guidance of an SSI Professional. This is a great course to take just before a dive holiday, so you spend less time worrying about your skills and more time admiring the marine life.

If you are a non-certified Open Water Diver student, a Scuba Skills Update is ideal for practicing your dive skills before your open water training dives. With no fixed course duration, you can take your time and focus on the skills you need help with.

Thanks to the SSI Basic Diver program, you will be able to learn the basic concepts of diving and then take your first breaths underwater in the ocean with a dive, applying what you have learned at one of our wonderful dive sites, to a depth of 12 meters.

We start in the morning with an explanation of the most important principles and aspects of scuba diving and afterwards, a dive is carried out in a controlled environment (swimming pool)

After a break, we will meet again for 2nd session. 

You will enjoy putting into practice what you have learned in the morning. After the briefing and preparation, we will travel to one of our local sheltered shore diving spots. You will dive with the same instructor from the morning session to ensure your safety and comfort. 

After completing the Basic Diver, a temporary diving certification is provided. It has an expiration of 6 months, during which you can continue with the training and learning by starting courses such as Open Water Diver, since the Basic Diver program includes one of the necessary dives to obtain the Open Water Diver certification.
