Dive Control Specialist

SSI Dive Control Specialist is our initial dive leadership level, and is considered by many as the "fun" leadership rating.  It's fun and satisfying because you can do more than any other entry-level dive leader.

You can do more because you receive both dive master and assistant instructor training in the SSI Dive Control Specialist course. With other agencies, these are separate courses. You will study advanced physics, physiology and decompression theory. You'll practice advanced rescue techniques, fine-tune your diving skills and learn the basics of teaching.

Open Water Instructor

How about sharing the joy and magic of diving instead of drowning in a sea of paper and landlocked reality?

Become an SSI Instructor and work in an office that 3/4 of the world.  There's a high demand for full and part-time SSI Instructors at retail shops and exotic resorts.

Graduates of the SSI program are not just teachers, they know the industry, the business, how to sell dive trips and equipment, and how to produce confident, comfortable divers.  This makes SSI Instructors extremely marketable!
