Agency and shop

Scuba Schools International (SSI) is the training agency. Continental Scuba is the centre on Beach No. 5. Your card says SSI. The people on the boat are Sai’s crew.

The order we usually suggest

Try Scuba — first dive with an instructor. No card to dive unsupervised.

SSI Open Water — skills, theory, and open-water dives until you can plan a simple recreational dive with a buddy. Silver through Platinum on our site change extras like boat days and photos, not the SSI standard. See Open Water.

SSI Advanced Open Water — more dives and more environments. Deep and navigation sit in the core. The rest of the set is how you grow into Havelock sites. See Advanced Open Water.

Specialties — Deep, Enriched Air Nitrox, Night, Perfect Buoyancy, photography, wreck, and others when we have the days and the sea. Browse courses.

Bringing a card from elsewhere

A certification means you were taught a standard. It does not mean you know this island. We still brief current, boats, and the plan. Bring the digital or plastic card for fun dives.

If you certified with another agency, say so. We take you as a certified guest when your level matches the site. Training with us is SSI.

Contact us with dates and how many dives you already have, and we will say which course fits.
