Discover the underwater world, go scuba diving in a pool and earn the SSI Try Scuba recognition card. The SSI Try Scuba program is a diving adventure the whole family can enjoy and provides an introduction to Scuba diving without committing to any equipment purchase or additional training.   

The SSI Try Scuba program is the best way to try scuba diving for the first time. You will be in confined water and well looked after by your instructor, so you can enjoy those first unforgettable breaths underwater and experience the magic of scuba diving. At the end of this short course, you will have earned your SSI Try Scuba recognition card and undoubtedly want to go diving again.  Endless scuba diving adventures are waiting for you and this course is where it all begins.   

Try Scuba is typically offered the first Saturday of the month. Participants will be registered in the MySSI online training system and will have the opportunity to review much of the same training material covered in the Open Water Diver certification course: 

• Your Body and the Aquatic Environment 
• The Effects of Pressure 
• Equalization Techniques 
• Underwater Communication 
• Scuba Equipment 
• Basic Rules of Safe Scuba Diving  

The day of the Try Scuba we will have a brief safety review in our classroom before everyone is fitted with Scuba gear and we head to the pool. At the pool you will get to assist with assembling the Scuba you will dive with before you enter the pool and prepare to take you first breath underwater. In the water participants will learn a handful of skills needed to safely dive in the pool environment and will then get to dive under the watchful eye of one or more of our instructors.
