Our new SSI dive instructor Anna and her first open water students on the Great Barrier Reef!

Elmira & Heather were the lucky first students to be certified on the Great Barrier Reef by our new SSI Instructor Anna.

Right after finishing her SSI Instructor Course, Anna had the opportunity to come to our live aboard and put into practice all she learnt over her training. Whilst being Dive Master, she was in charge of already certified divers only, taking them for dives, looking after them and showing them around the best spots on the reef. 

This time however, she was involved in a real mission! Getting newbies to learn how to scuba dive from scratch and make sure they both felt comfortable enough performing the skills and able to keep diving on their own in the future.

The first introductory dive was challenging, since it was the first time ever that they put scuba units on and breathed under water. One student was slightly more comfortable in the water than the other, which made it a more interesting course to start with for Anna. Having two different students with different levels of confidence lets you have a better understanding of the importance of having a good group control and accommodate to their needs. 

Dive after dive (9 in total!) they both exceeded our expectations and improved a lot, reaching a satisfactory level of comfort in the water in order to get certified as SSI Open Water Divers.

Practicing all the skills from dive one in the Great Barrier Reef allows you to become more confident for your future diving adventures. The first few sessions are the most important and are always performed in confined open water, but that means you are in a real environment rather than in a swimming pool. Plus, you also get to see stingrays swimming around you whilst you perform the skills, like Elmira and Heather did! 

All in all, Anna did very well for her first Open Water Course and her students left super happy and excited for future diving adventures.
