Specialty Instructor

Becoming an SSI Specialty Instructor is easy. Continue your dive training as an assistant or instructor by enrolling in a Specialty Instructor seminar for each of the dive specialties you would like to teach.

The first step will be your individual work with the digital theory portion via the SSI website or App. We will schedule the days and times of the sessions with your instructor.

Upon completion of the course, you will be certified as an instructor in your chosen specialty.
