Digital Learning & Academics

SSIs  fantastic digital E-Learning program makes your learning experience easy.

In-Water Training

During the pool training, your SSI Instructor will teach you all the necessary skills in a controlled environment until you are comfortable and ready to go to the open water. During the open water training dives, you will apply your knowledge and repeat the skills in a real-world environment under the supervision of your Instructor.

Once you have completed all required training sessions, final exam and open water training dives, we will issue your digital certification card which will show up instantly on your MySSI App.
