SSI Training Specialist

A Dive Control Specialist can become a Training Specialist and teach certain SSI specialties by simply purchasing the training materials and joining a Specialty Seminar conducted by an Instructor Trainer. These SSI Specialty programs include: Boat Diving, Digital Underwater Photography, Navigation, Perfect Buoyancy, Underwater Video and many more.

This is the perfect rating for underwater photographers and videographers, allowing them to teach Photo and Video courses in which they have extensive experience, even if they are not certified instructors.
