Start with Confidence

Diani’s warm, clear waters are perfect for learning. Our experienced SSI instructors create a relaxed, supportive environment that helps you build skills at your own pace. You’ll start in the pool, learn the basics, and then head out to explore real coral reefs.

No Experience? No Problem

You don’t need to be a strong swimmer or have any prior experience. As long as you’re comfortable in the water, we’ll take care of the rest. Our beginner courses are designed to be fun, easy to follow, and packed with unforgettable moments.

Choose Your First Step

Try diving for the first time with our SSI Try Scuba or Basic Diver program. These are short, single-day experiences that get you underwater safely and confidently. For something more permanent, go for the SSI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, which allow you to dive anywhere in the world.

Learn Online, Dive in Kenya

With SSI’s digital learning system, you can start your dive theory at home. Complete your online training before you arrive in Kenya, then jump straight into the fun part—diving. It’s flexible, easy to use, and perfect for busy travelers.

Explore with Every Dive

During your course, you won’t just be learning—you’ll be exploring. Our beginner dives take place on shallow coral reefs filled with colourful fish, rays, turtles, and more. It’s a hands-on way to learn, with real marine life all around you.
