Still wondering?

Do I need my own gear to start?

No. We rent everything you need from our Halcyon fleet. Most students buy their personal-fit pieces (mask, snorkel, boots, fins) before day one. Everything else can wait.

What happens if I miss a session?

Tell us as soon as you know. We run these programs on a rolling basis, so makeups are almost always possible. We will slot you into the next available session of the same type.

How long until I'm certified?

Most core students finish in a few weeks of calendar time. The pace is yours. We will set a schedule that fits your life.

What do I need before I start?

Fit to swim, No certification prerequisites

Where can I read the SSI standards?

The full agency standards for this course are published by SSI. You can review them before you register if you want the detailed breakdown.
