Three Steps to Basic Diver
Digital Learning and Academics
SSI has mastered the use of digital technology to make your learning experience easy.
You can start by studying the academics anytime, anywhere at your convenience.
In-Water Training
During the pool/confined water training, your SSI Instructor will teach you all the necessary skills in a controlled environment until you are comfortable and ready to go to the open water. During open water training dives, you will apply your knowledge and repeat the skills in a real-world environment under the supervision of your Instructor.
Certification
Once you have completed all required training sessions, final exam and open water training dives, your SSI Training Center will issue your digital certification card which will show up instantly on your MySSI App.
