SSI Crossover

"Are you already a certified instructor from another agency (PADI, NAUI, CMAS, SDI,...)? Upgrade to SSI and get the dive job you deserve!"

SSI has a simplified crossover system for instructors affiliated with recognized agencies for Recreational, Technical or Freediving. We believe that since you’re already an instructor, you only need to know how the SSI System and Philosophy function as well as the specific skills.

We recognize that as a qualified Instructor or Divemaster you already know how to train divers or deal with certified divers. Our crossover is designed to simply familiarize you with the SSI Total Teaching System and the difference in our water skills. It’s that simple.

The duration of this course is 2 days (3 for Dive Control Specialist Instructor) of mainly classroom with 1 water session. You can continue to be an active instructor with your current agency if you wish so. We have scheduled monthly crossover courses and can organize more if needed. SSI Professionals are in high demand, crossover and start working right after the course!

The ratings you currently hold with your other recognized agency will be matched one-to-one with SSI ratings. After completion, you can continue your career with SSI without limits! Continue your career by taking higher Dive Professional programs or by qualifying for other Specialty Instructor ratings. Check your equivalences with SSI here:
