SSI First Dive Experience (40+40 minutes) | Scuba Diving in Goa

The First Dive Experience is your perfect introduction to the underwater world — no swimming skills or prior diving experience required! This beginner-friendly program includes two guided dives at a shallow site near Goa, each lasting around 40 minutes. Professional SSI or PADI-certified instructors stay with you throughout, ensuring total safety and comfort. You’ll learn simple hand signals, basic safety rules, and how to breathe underwater while exploring Goa’s marine beauty. It’s not a technical course but a fun, secure, and unforgettable adventure for non-divers and first-timers alike.

our day begins with a warm Goan welcome, followed by a simple briefing to introduce you to scuba basics and equipment. You’ll enjoy a scenic boat ride from the jetty to sites like Grande Island, known for calm conditions and clear visibility. Once geared up with a buoyancy vest, mask, regulator, and fins, you’ll enter the warm sea under close instructor supervision.

Dive One: Practice breathing underwater and explore for 40 minutes, discovering colorful fish and reefs.

Surface Interval: Relax, refresh, and soak in the Goan sun.

Dive Two: Gain confidence and dive again for another 40 minutes of underwater exploration.

Your experience ends with a pleasant boat ride back to shore, filled with memories and excitement from your first underwater adventure.

Safety is our top priority. Each participant is closely supervised by a certified instructor (often one-on-one), dives take place in shallow waters up to 12 meters, and all equipment is top-quality and well-maintained. Before diving, you’ll receive clear instructions on hand signals, safety rules, and breathing techniques to ensure complete confidence underwater.

It’s perfect for beginners, tourists, and anyone curious about the ocean who wants a safe, immersive introduction to scuba diving. The program suits those aged 10 and above, even with no prior experience, and is great for people seeking a longer, more relaxed first dive instead of a quick taster session.

This is an introductory experience, not a certification course. You won’t be certified to dive independently afterward—but it’s a fantastic way to discover scuba diving and decide if you’d like to continue with our SSI Open Water Scuba Diving Course to earn your certification.
