Why Scuba Schools International

With all the professional diver-training programs out there, why should a diver or a newcomer to scuba diving choose to become an SSI Diver?

The choice is simple when you understand the key elements behind SSI's training system.

Quality Dealers. SSI Authorized Dealers are carefully selected to meet our high standards. We only work with full service, reputable retailers, resorts and charter operators who run professional scuba schools, sell and service equipment and offer additional services to meet all your diving needs.

Quality Instructors. SSI is the only agency that requires instructors to affiliate with a full-service Authorized Dealer. SSI Instructors are monitored on-site for adherence to the SSI Training Standards, professional conduct and performance, to ensure your course is taught tight.

SSI's the Leader in Home Study Training. Home study is the hottest thing in dive training because it allows you to spend more time in the water developing ability and comfort. In 1990 SSI pioneered this technique and we're still the leader today.

Comfort Through Repetition. SSI Instructors use our highly-effective water training method called comfort through repetition. Scuba skills become second nature, so you can relax and enjoy yourself when you go diving.

World-Wide Respect and Recognition. SSI divers are respected all over the world because of SSI's reputation for training excellent divers. Again with over 2500 Authorized Dealers in more than 100 countries, your SSI certification card will be welcome anywhere you want to dive.
