Scuba Diving Certification in Mallorca: SSI Diver in 1 Day

Complete theory online, then one day in water earning certification—fast and efficient course.

The SSI Scuba Diver course in Mallorca is a one-day certification class where you finish the online theory before arrival, then train hands-on in shallow water and complete two open water boat dives to a maximum depth of 12 meters. Full diving equipment rental, the final exam, digital certification and diving insurance are included. A valid medical certificate is required, and you must wait at least 24 hours after your last dive before flying.

The Experience

You'll complete the SSI theory study and pass the online exam in the app before you arrive at Big Blue Diving. That prep work means the day itself stays focused on what matters: getting in the water, building confidence in shallow conditions, and then diving from a boat twice to put your new skills to work. The course is designed for beginners with no prior experience, and the structure compresses what usually takes two days into one.

Your two open water dives happen from a boat and stay within 12 meters depth—deep enough to feel like real diving, shallow enough to stay safe while you're still learning. All the equipment you need is provided and fitted to you: wetsuit, tank, weights, BCD, regulator, mask and fins. A live guide leads the dives and stays with you throughout, speaking English, Spanish, French or German depending on your preference. Diving insurance covers you for the day.

After your last dive, you'll need to wait at least 24 hours before flying—a safety rule to prevent decompression sickness. If you're traveling by air to reach Mallorca, plan your arrival with this in mind. A valid medical certificate is required before you start, confirming you're fit to dive. The course is suitable for all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for people with spinal injuries, cardiovascular conditions or pregnancy.
