A flexible 1 + 1 day path to your SSI Open Water certification. You complete the classroom theory from home, then join us for one pool-training day in Goa at the Novotel Resort & Spa, Candolim. Your open water dives are completed afterwards — with us in Goa or at any SSI dive centre worldwide.
Getting your academics done before you travel means no classroom days eating into your holiday. FlyingFish provides your SSI instructor, all pool equipment and a free lunch on your training day, processes your referral, and issues your internationally-recognised digital records.
Two parts: your classroom theory done from home, then one focused pool-training day with us in Goa.
Your referral covers the theory and pool training. The final step to full SSI Open Water Diver certification is 4 open water dives — and because your referral is recognised worldwide, you can complete them whenever and wherever you like:
When you dive with us at Grandé Island you’ll train on gentle reefs rich with marine life — moray eels, blue-spotted stingrays, parrotfish and groupers — across 4 dives to a maximum of 18m. Ask us for current ocean-dive pricing and dates when you book your referral.
With your theory and pool training complete, you’re cleared to finish your 4 open water dives — with us at Grandé Island or at any SSI centre in the world. Once those dives are done you’ll hold the full SSI Open Water Diver certification.
Here's what actually sets us apart, minus the sales talk.
Pro-grade gear serviced every 100 dives or 6 months, not when it fails. MK25/S620 regulator, Hydros Pro BCD, Aladin Sport dive computer. You train on the same equipment working instructors use.
Your instructor knows where you are underwater at all times. No crowded groups. If a skill needs more practice, you get the time — not the time left over after 8 other students.
We teach both agencies at the same location. You choose which certification fits your future dive plans. We give you honest advice, not a push toward whichever we sell more of.
Proper briefing rooms, clean equipment rinsing stations, structured course schedule. The difference between a dive school and a beach shack matters when you are doing a multi-day certification course.
We do not treat referral students as second-tier bookings. Your 4 certification dives are conducted at the same 4:1 ratio, with the same ScubaPro equipment, from the same Novotel base. The only difference is that your theory and pool work were done elsewhere.
