SSI Divemaster

Join the largest and most respected dive tribe in the world.

Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the SSI Divemaster Program. Working closely with a SSI Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. SSI Divemaster Training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for both the SSI Assistant Instructor and SSI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.

During your Divemaster Program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom-based and independent learning. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize, solve problems and help others improve their diving skills. You put this knowledge into practice through a structured course and a series of practical training exercises.

As you progress through your Divemaster course, you’ll expand your diving knowledge, hone your skills and increase your confidence. Then, as a SSI Divemaster, you will use these attributes to lead, mentor and motivate other divers and you will experience the joy of seeing them transformed by the majesty of the aquatic world!
