Dive Control Specialist
The professional dive leader!
Dive Control Specialist is SSI’s initial dive leadership level and is
considered by many as the "fun" leadership rating. That’s because you
can do more than any other entry-level dive leader. You can do more
because you receive both divemaster and assistant instructor training
in the SSI Dive Control Specialist course. You will practice advanced
rescue techniques, fine-tune your diving skills, and learn the basics of
teaching. Plus, there’s a high demand for SSI Dive Control Specialists
at retail shops and exotic resorts.
WHY IS THERE NO PRICE listed for this course? Because 3 Fathoms S.C.U.B.A.
believes that a good Dive Control Specialist is a valuable benefit to
the dive store and its customers. Any diver trained by 3 Fathoms S.C.U.B.A. could be considered for this
prestigious position. After a pre-assessment period to monitor your diving and leadership skills, if you are chosen, the only cost will be
your education materials. Contact us for more details.
SSI Open Water Instructor
The professional Dive Instructor! Learn to be a Scuba Instructor the "SSI Way."
Most instructor programs
focus only on teaching diving. However, most dive businesses require
much more of instructors than merely teaching. The SSI Instructor
Training Course (ITC) prepares you to become an active member of the
scuba industry, a successful educator, and a valuable dive business
employee. When you work for an SSI Authorized Scuba School, you are
teaching in an established business with experienced instructors. They
can assist with your first few courses, and they have a wealth of
knowledge to help you progress.
Any 3 Fathoms S.C.U.B.A. Dive Control Specialist could be chosen for this program. 3 Fathoms S.C.U.B.A. does not charge a training fee for selected instructor candidates besides the cost of your education materials. Contact us for more details.
