Can I Do the Dive Course Online and the Pool Dives at Home Before Coming to Kenya?
Dive course online and pool training. Planning your dream dive holiday in Kenya? Want to save time on your trip and still become a certified diver? Good news—yes, you can start your scuba diving course at home and finish it with Ocean Tribe in Diani Beach! Thanks to the SSI digital learning system, getting certified has never been more flexible.
Start Dive Course Online, Learn at Your Own Pace
With Scuba Schools International (SSI), you can begin your Open Water Diver course online. After registering through this link and affiliating with Ocean Tribe, you’ll get access to your digital learning materials. You can read, watch videos, and complete quizzes from your phone or laptop—anytime, anywhere.
This means you can do all the theory before you even pack your bags. You’ll arrive in Kenya ready to dive into the action.
Do the Dive Course Pool Sessions at Home
If you want to go a step further, you can complete your confined water sessions—the pool part of your course—at a dive centre near you. This is called a Referral.
An SSI instructor will guide you through the basic skills in a pool or similar environment. Once you complete this portion, your training will be logged and transferred digitally through SSI’s global system.
When you arrive in Diani, you’ll be ready to finish your open water dives in the Indian Ocean. Ocean Tribe will pick up right where your local instructor left off.
Finish Your Certification in Kenya
Once you’ve completed the online study and pool work, you only need to do your four open water dives to get certified. You’ll explore Diani’s reefs, spot turtles, and experience the thrill of diving in tropical waters.
This split-training method saves you time on holiday, keeps your course relaxed, and still gives you the full SSI certification. Plus, your dives in Kenya will be the highlight of your training.
