SSI Scuba Skills Update

Although your certification card is valid for life, Scuba World recommends you dive at least six times per year to keep your skills proficient. A scuba skills update consists of completing the SSI online training component and then reviewing all the skills you learnt in your Open Water Course in our onsite pool.

 

WHEN YOU SHOULD COMPLETE A SSI SCUBA SKILLS UPDATE?

  • If you DO NOT PLAN on diving with Scuba World

OR

  • You have not dived for 5 or more years

 

If you have completed 250+ dives, you may be able to complete a pool ‘check out’ dive instead. If you believe you only need a pool ‘check out’ dive, please phone Scuba World to discuss your diving history.
