Course Details

Do It Right From the First Breath.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to breathe underwater, the SSI Try Scuba experience is the perfect, low-pressure introduction to the ocean.

At XR Explorers, we believe that even your very first dive should be done with absolute excellence. Unlike standard introductory classes that rush you into the water, we introduce you to the XR Explorers Standard.

The XR Explorers Difference: The DIR Standard

You will use premium, DIR-configured equipment (Backplate & Wing)—the exact same style used by advanced technical explorers. This offers you superior balance, comfort, and control compared to traditional beginner gear. Furthermore, as part of our unwavering commitment to safety, your experience will be conducted using Nitrox 32% gas at no additional charge, and all pool or facility fees are fully covered.

What to Expect

  • Briefing: A clear and simple explanation of diving principles, safety rules, and equipment mechanics.
  • Skills: Practice basic breathing techniques and underwater movement in shallow, confined water (Pool or Sheltered Bay) under direct supervision.
  • The Dive: Experience the true weightlessness of the underwater world with an experienced instructor right by your side at all times.

Team Diving Bonus: 10% Cashback!

At the core of the DIR philosophy is the concept of team diving. To promote experiencing the water with a trusted partner, we offer a 10% cashback bonus on your tuition when you bring a buddy—whether it's a family member or a friend. This cashback is credited to your XR Explorers account and can be used toward your full Open Water certification or purchasing premium equipment.

*Terms apply: Cashback credit is valid for 1 month (30 days) from the date of issue.

Before taking sidemount, I thought twin tank is enough. However excellent training and experience change my mind. Special thanks to the best instructor “Yehia” 👌👌👌

Thank you, Hamad! I love hearing that. Twinsets are fantastic, but Sidemount definitely opens up a whole new world of flexibility and logistics. I am really glad we could change your mind and add another tool to your toolbox. Thanks for the trust and the kind words!

Abdulrahman A. (Hawalli, Kuwait)

I’m proud to share that I’ve successfully completed my Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) course under the guidance of Captain Yehia.

This course wasn’t just about riding a scooter — it was about mastering control, precision, team coordination, and understanding the true potential of underwater mobility. Captain Yehia’s approach combined safety, fun, and technical excellence in a way that elevated the entire experience.

From perfecting neutral buoyancy while maneuvering to executing complex drills with calm and confidence, every moment added depth to my skills and awareness as a diver. His patience, keen eye for detail, and real-time feedback made a huge difference.

This is one more step in my technical diving journey — and with mentors like Yehia, the path forward feels both challenging and inspiring.

Next stop: deeper dives, longer bottom times, and more advanced missions.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Abdulrahman! You nailed the most important takeaway—that a DPV is a precision tool for the team, not just a ride. Watching you execute those complex drills while maintaining your buoyancy and awareness was impressive. I am honored to be part of your journey, and I am definitely ready when you are for those 'advanced missions.' Let’s get back in the water!

I really enjoyed this training course and would recommend it to other divers who want to build real confidence. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone understood why we were doing each skill.

Thank you! I truly believe that understanding the 'why' behind a skill is just as important as the skill itself. That knowledge is where real confidence comes from. It was a pleasure having you in the class—keep applying what you learned!

I recently completed my sidemount diving training, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the experience. From the very beginning, the captain YEHIA made me feel comfortable and supported. He was patient, detailed, and always encouraging, which made learning a completely new setup much easier than I expected.

I truly appreciate your guidance, Thanks for your time and consideration.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Nour! Learning a completely new configuration like Sidemount can be challenging, so I am really happy to hear that you felt supported and comfortable throughout the process. Your positive attitude is what made the learning easy. It was a pleasure training you!'
