About your trip

Ready to take your diving to the next level? The SSI Advanced Adventurer Course at Ocean Tribe in Diani Beach is the perfect way to build confidence, boost your skills, and explore new types of diving. Over two days, you’ll complete five open water dives in different specialty areas — like deep diving, wreck diving, perfect buoyancy, or navigation. It’s fun, flexible, and a great way to experience Kenya’s incredible marine life, from turtles and stingrays to eels and reef sharks. This course is ideal for certified Open Water Divers looking to go deeper to 30m and dive smarter.


Alternatively for the SAME price


Why stop at just one course when you can get more out of your training? Our Advanced Open Water alternative package gives you a smarter, more cost-effective path to becoming a better diver. Instead of doing five short adventure dives, you’ll complete three full SSI Specialty Programs — at a discounted bundle price.


By the end of your training, you’ll hold three official SSI Specialty certifications and earn the SSI Specialty Diver recognition. You’ll log six dives, sharpen your skills, and gain real underwater confidence. And while the traditional Advanced course only qualifies you to dive to 30 meters, our package takes you all the way to 40 meters — the maximum depth for recreational diving.

You’ll also learn to navigate underwater like a pro and safely extend your bottom time with Enriched Air Nitrox. Even better, you can complete everything in the same time it takes to do a standard Advanced course.


Train smarter. Dive deeper. Go further. Join the Advanced Alternative and level up your diving.
