If you're curious about diving but uncertain about its suitability, the Basic Diver program provides an excellent opportunity to give it a try. Once you've completed the program, instead of earning a diving certificate, you'll be issued a recognition card that is valid for six months. This card entitles you to engage in further dives, under professional guidance, to a depth of 12 meters.
The Basic Diver program provides training that's equivalent to the first modules of the Open Water course, and this is duly acknowledged. Therefore, you can choose to complete the remainder of your Open Water Diver course within six months, at an SSI dive center, without having to repeat any sections. A reputable dive center would offer you a discounted price for the Open Water course. It's important to note that the Basic Diver course alone is not sufficient to participate in diving activities worldwide. For a lifetime certification, you must complete the Open Water Diver course.
SSI and PADI are two preeminent training organizations in the realm of diving. Both of these organizations provide certifications and courses that are recognized globally. Despite offering similar services, the two entities diverge in their internal systems and training philosophies. For instance, SSI's instructors are unable to conduct independent training but rather work under the employment of diving centers and receive training materials free of charge from SSI and its affiliated training center. In contrast, PADI permits diving instructors to work as freelancers as long as they purchase the learning materials from PADI. Furthermore, the two organizations differ in their methods of further training beyond the Open Water course, with PADI following a prescribed path while SSI offers a more flexible training system that empowers divers to make their own choices. Notwithstanding the similarity in course structures, the most important aspects of any diving course are the quality of the instructor and training center. Consequently, it is of no consequence which training organization a diving enthusiast chooses as long as they are content with the instructor and training center that meet their expectations.
You are not obligated to adhere to the SSI training program for your continue eductaion. Once you obtain your Open Water Diver certification from SSI, you are at liberty to seek advanced diver or dive professional training from other reputable organizations globally. A few examples of such organizations are PADI, Cmas, NAUI, and Raid.
