Basic Scuba
A foundation course for divers who want supervised diving to twelve metres without committing to a full certification.
€4502–3 days
SSI courses
SSI diving courses in Crete
The only SSI centre in Plakias. Theory on your phone before you arrive, so the holiday is spent in the sea. PADI cards continue here without repeating work.
Why this is different here
The classroom is on your phone, before you arrive
We are the only SSI centre in Plakias; the village is otherwise PADI. The difference is where the theory happens. You work through it in the app at home, at your own pace, in your own language. On a one-week holiday that is a day and a half you get back.
SSI certifications are recognised worldwide. If you already hold a PADI card, you carry on with us without repeating anything.

Not sure yet?
Most people start with a try dive and decide afterwards. It counts towards the Open Water certification if you carry on, so nothing is wasted either way.
