What Will You Learn?

If you have a passion for diving and want to share that passion with others then this is the course for you as you'll learn to guide qualified divers on underwater tours.

​

Devoted divers who are motivated to pass along their love of recreational scuba diving to others will find the SSI Dive Guide program a rewarding experience that will add a new dimension to their diving adventures. Much as the Open Water course opened the door to diving, the Dive Guide program will open the door to leadership, which allows you to enjoy diving on an entirely different level and to earn the respect of other divers.

The course will train you to be a well-prepared, versatile and marketable dive leader that is qualified to take people diving, lead dive trips and underwater tours for certified divers as well as being able to work on dive boats and in resorts

Once qualified you can carry on and upgrade your status to an SSI Divemaster by taking the Science of Diving Specialty. Science of Diving is a specialty that incorporates the physics and physiology of diving, decompression theory, as well as in-depth information on the inner workings of diving equipment and the aquatic environment. The training also provides excellent preparation for the third level — SSI Dive Control Specialist (Assistant Instructor level).
