SSI Open Water & Advanced Open Water Combo – Malta

Learn to Dive in Malta – From Beginner to Advanced

The SSI Open Water & Advanced Open Water Combo is the most complete way to learn scuba diving in Malta.

This package combines the SSI Open Water Diver and SSI Advanced Open Water Diver courses into one structured programme, allowing you to progress from first-time diver to advanced recreational diver in a single stay.

Instead of completing courses separately, the combo offers a smoother progression, more dives, and better overall value.

All training is delivered by certified instructors following Scuba Schools International (SSI) standards.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable if you:

Have no previous diving experience
Want to continue beyond basic Open Water certification
Prefer a clear training pathway rather than returning later
Want to gain confidence in a variety of diving conditions
Are planning future dive holidays and want fewer limitations

If you already know you want more than a single certification, the combo is the most efficient option.
