SSI Instructor Specialties

Do you want to further develop yourself as a diving instructor and expand your course offerings? With us, you can also participate in an Instructor Specialty Seminar for most of the specialties we offer.

By teaching specialties, you grow as an instructor: you increase your knowledge and experience, can offer more courses, and better respond to the wishes of your students. Specialties not only provide variety in your work, but also professional development and extra opportunities within the diving world.

You can take the Instructor Specialties through co-teaching or a seminar. Depending on your experience, this can often be organized within a single half-day. The price includes SSI Pro e-learning.

Extra benefit: take four specialties and receive the fifth for free.
