SSI Basic Diver in Koh Tao, Discover Diving in Half a Day
Do you want to discover scuba diving without committing to a full course straight away, or do you simply have limited time on Koh Tao, the diver’s island? The SSI Basic Diver programme is the perfect way to begin your underwater adventure and explore the aquatic world safely. Indeed, it’s the simplest and fastest way to put on a mask for the first time — before moving on, if you wish, to our Try Scuba introductory dive or directly to Open Water SSI.
SSI Basic Diver Programme, 2 Guided Dives in Half a Day
In just half a day, you complete two guided dives:
- First dive: down to 5 metres, ideal for finding your bearings and getting used to the equipment.
- Second dive: down to 12 metres, to discover the richness of Koh Tao’s underwater world and observe marine life in all its diversity.
No previous experience is required to take part in the SSI Basic Diver. Our certified international instructors guide you step by step and teach you the essential basics:
- dive equipment and how to use it,
- safety rules on board and underwater,
- the aquatic environment and marine life protection.
Every fin kick helps you build confidence in shallow water. As a result, you’re ready to explore deeper areas and fully enjoy the colours and diversity of Koh Tao’s underwater life.
