Meeting & Preparation
After your booking, we'll send you the link for the online access to the SSI Theory course. That way you can already study the theoretical basics and don't have to spend long hours in class on site. At the booked start day of the course, we meet at the Cascais Dive Center, located directly along the Marina of Cascais. There, you'll meet your certified SSI instructor who will answer any open questions you might still have. Before we start with the fun part of the course, you'll take the test to prove your knowledge. We will then start with practice exercises and dives in shallow water and ideally do an open water dive already on your first day.
