Why?
Our training programs are designed with one goal in mind: for you to have serious fun when you dive! And the only way to have a great time diving is to become truly comfortable with the skills and the equipment you’ll use.

SSI’s Diver Diamond is the cornerstone of our educational system. It emphasizes the crucial components of a great scuba education: proper knowledge, proper skills, proper equipment and experience. The Diver Diamond sets the foundation for serious diving and serious fun. At SSI, we don’t want you to just learn to dive; we want you to love to dive. You’ll love learning the SSI way, because we make every step of your scuba experience fun!

SSI Instructors make learning come alive with personalized instruction that will put your skills to use in reality-based training scenarios. Our unique approach to dive training is known as Comfort through Repetition. By practicing each skill you’ve learned throughout each level of your training, your actions become conditioned responses—second nature! SSI training ensures you retain what you’ve already learned, while you continue to learn more. As a result, diving becomes fun—not an exercise in memory recall or mental gymnastics.

 

That’s how we want you to feel when you become a certified Open Water Diver — you won’t have to second-guess your actions because your mind will know subconsciously and your body will respond correctly. When you finish your SSI training and become certified as an Open Water Diver, you’ll truly be ready to begin the adventure of your dreams!

 

At SSI, we don’t want you to just learn to dive; we want you to love to dive. You will love learning the SSI way, because we make every step of your scuba experience fun!
