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.
