SSI / PADI CERTIFICATION
Dive into scuba diving and grab your first international certification in just 1 day!
The SSI Scuba Diver course combines online theory, hands-on sessions, confined water sessions and 3 open water dives so you can experience your first real underwater adventure with top-notch training.
Upon completion, you’ll receive your official SSI Scuba Diver certification, valid worldwide for diving up to 12 meters under professional supervision.
The Scuba Diver course is an international certification built for those who want to start diving with official training but have limited time or prefer a more compact option than the Open Water Diver.
It’s a 1-day program that allows you to dive up to 12 meters deep accompanied by a professional, and covers approximately half of the content of the Open Water course.
During the course, you’ll learn the basics of recreational diving: equipment handling, buoyancy control, underwater communication, and essential safety procedures.
The Scuba Diver course is developed in three progressive phases that combine theory, hands-on practice, and real experience in the sea.
We'll start with a fun and simple theoretical talk, where we'll explain the basic concepts of diving and how the equipment works.
Afterwards, you'll get kitted out with our help. The diving equipment is top-notch and completely new.
Before the dive, we'll perform a brief comfort check in a shallow area where you can safely stand.
You'll practice breathing with the regulator and using the mask for the first time. Once comfortable, you'll perform some basic exercises always accompanied by your instructor.
Explore vibrant reefs teeming with life and breathtaking vertical walls where you can observe Mediterranean fauna in crystal-clear waters with insane visibility. These are incredible dives to enjoy the local biodiversity and the characteristic underwater landscape of Malta.
Our Scuba Diver course includes everything you need so you only have to worry about learning and enjoying yourself underwater, with no hidden costs or additional material.
Full access to the e-learning digital system, with the 3 academic modules needed to complete the theoretical part of the Scuba Diver level. You can study from home before starting the hands-on part.
Guided training by a professional instructor, who will accompany you during the practices and open water dives, guaranteeing safety, progression, and personalized attention. Dive into adventure with expert guidance!
Includes complete diving equipment: mask, fins, wetsuit, buoyancy compensator, regulator, and tank. The equipment is regularly checked and is in excellent condition. Experience ultimate comfort and safety!
Diving insurance for the entire activity, transportation to the dive sites, and international Scuba Diver certification, valid for diving up to 12 meters under professional supervision. Get certified and explore the underwater world!
Take advantage of your stay in Malta to get your Scuba Diver certification and start diving up to 12 meters with professional supervision.
The Scuba Diver course is designed for beginners: no previous experience or Try Dive required. You only need to meet some basic requirements to carry out the activity safely.
The Scuba Diver and the Open Water Diver are the two entry-level diving courses, but with different levels of autonomy.
The Scuba Diver is a more compact option designed for those who have less time or prefer to always dive accompanied by a professional. The Open Water Diver is the complete certification and allows greater autonomy from the first moment.
The Scuba Diver level can be expanded later by completing the remaining modules of the Open Water.
You will dive in crystal clear waters with excellent visibility and a great variety of marine life. The dive spots in Malta make it one of the best places in Europe to start diving: calm and safe. Discover breathtaking underwater landscapes!
You will always find diving equipment in excellent condition, carefully checked and maintained. The equipment is regularly inspected to ensure safety, comfort, and peace of mind during each dive. Experience world-class gear for unforgettable dives!
We follow the official standards, combining e-learning and practice in the water with certified instructors who will guide you step by step until you obtain your Scuba Diver certification. Join us for top-tier training!
We work with a maximum of 4 students per instructor to ensure individual attention, better learning, and greater safety underwater. Enjoy personalized guidance for an exceptional diving experience!

He venido esta semana a Malta y he tenido la mala suerte que toda ha sido de tormentas y lluvias. Pese a todo, Scuba Malta me ha estado llevando a bucear con Lisa, que es una excelente instructora y Carlos que también domina el tema. Así que dentro del mal tiempo, me han ayudado a poder mejorar mi técnica de buceo.

The Scuba Diver cert? It unlocks dives down to 12 meters, but you’ll always be buddied up with a pro. It’s valid worldwide and you can totally level up to Open Water Diver later.
Nope! This course is built for total newbies. Just be able to swim and be in decent health, and you’re golden.
Absolutely! Scuba Diver gets you halfway to Open Water. Finish the rest of the modules whenever you’re ready and BAM – you’re a certified Open Water Diver!
You bet! Your Scuba Diver cert is your passport to dive centers worldwide within the SSI or PADI family.
The Try Dive package is an amazing experience that you’ll keep all your life whereas with the Scuba Diver you will get an international official certification that will allow you to dive until 12 meters.
Small groups are our jam! We keep it to a maximum of 4 divers per instructor. This means real personalized attention, maximum safety, and a seriously comfortable dive.
