Begin > Passport Diver
Are you planning a vacation and want to dive at your
destination? With SSI's Passport Diver Program, you can earn a passport
to adventure and dive on colorful, shallow-water reefs under the
direct supervision of a dive leader.
The Passport Diver Program takes dive training to
a new level of convenience and accessibility for first-time divers
by focusing on just the knowledge and skills required to dive proficiently
under the direct supervision of a dive leader. And your Passport
will continue to be recognized by any participating Passport facility
as long as you log at least one dive every six months.
If you have completed the Try Scuba program in the
previous 14 days, you will receive credit for your academic session
and Pool/Confined Water Session 1 and Open Water Session 1. Those
who complete the Passport Diver Program can apply their academic
sessions, pool/confined water sessions and open water sessions to
Open Water Diver certification.
Knowledge. Academics are limited
to practical, "need to know" safety information that directly
affects the immediate needs of divers.
Skills. So you can start diving
as soon as possible, you'll practice a reduced skill set with SSI's
Comfort Through Repetition teaching method in limited pool and open
water sessions.
- Water training is emphasized so you can have fun diving.
- You will practice basic scuba skills in order to build ability
and comfort.
Equipment. With the goal being to
develop a working knowledge of scuba equipment, divers will receive
an introduction to basic scuba equipment with an emphasis on equipment
handling.
