SSI Try Open Water Scuba Diving Course for Beginners

The clear Mediterranean Sea around Saint Paul's Bay is the perfect place for your first scuba diving experience. With the help of our local diving instructors, you will learn how to handle the diving equipment before you head into the open sea. The fantastic underwater world of the Maltese archipelago awaits you with diverse flora and fauna to be discovered on your first dives.

Goal of the course
The Try Scuba Open Water course allows you to try diving without completing a full course. You learn how to handle the equipment and find out what it feels like to breathe underwater. After a theoretical introduction and shallow water exercises, you can apply and consolidate your new skills in two open water dives to 12m depth.

Meeting & Preparation
If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. We either meet directly at our base at the Gillieru Harbour Hotel or pick you up from your accommodation (in St. Paul's Bay area only) and take you to the dive centre. Here you will get to know your instructors and receive the equipment. As soon as the group is ready, we will start the course. The group size is limited to 5 participants in the regular course and 2 participants per instructor in the VIP option.
