SSI Scuba Skills Update
Skills Update
Certified but rusty? An hour and a half in the pool and you're ready for the ocean again.
Scuba diving and snorkelling carry real risks, including drowning and pressure injuries, even in a pool. They can cause serious injury or death. Please read our risk warning before you book.
What we'll do
It’s been a while. Maybe years. That’s completely normal, and the fix is an easy hour and a half in the pool.
We go back over setting up your gear, the basic scuba skills, buoyancy and emergency procedures — or anything else you’d like to get better at. Tell us what feels rusty and we’ll build the session around it.
What you walk away with: An SSI Scuba Skills Update recognition card — and your confidence back.
Good questions
Before you ask
Do I need any previous diving or snorkelling experience?
Not at all! Many of our experiences are designed for complete beginners. We'll explain everything beforehand and take you through the experience step by step, at a pace you're comfortable with.
What do I need to bring?
Just your swimwear, a towel, a water bottle and a positive attitude! We provide the scuba and snorkelling equipment you need, and we'll let you know if there's anything else to bring for your particular experience.
What happens if I'm nervous or don't feel comfortable in the water?
That's completely okay — and actually one of the reasons we created M&M. There is never any pressure to continue. We'll take our time, explain things clearly and work at your pace. Our private sessions let us adapt the experience to you.
What is the minimum age?
It depends on the experience. Try Dives in the pool and Scuba Wellness sessions are available from 8 years old; for Basic Diver, Scuba Diver and snorkel trips the minimum age is 10, and 12 for a Skills Update. If you're booking for a child, contact us and we'll help you choose the right experience.
