The Dive Professional track:
Step 1: Dive Guide/Dive Master. Dive Guide Certification is the entry level for a GR8 DIVN SSI Dive Professional and qualifies a person to guide dive excursions for certified Open Water Divers and teach Scuba Skills Updates for certified divers. Dive Master is a rating awarded after a Dive Guide completes the Science of Diving Specialty.
Step 2: Dive Control Specialist Certification qualifies a person to assist a GR8 DIVN SSI Open Water Instructor in teaching certified and non certified divers.
Step 3: Open Water Instructor Training prepares a student for the Open Water Instructor Final Examination, which is administered by a SSI Instructor Certifier.
Step 4: The Instructor Examination is conducted over a two day period where an Instructor Certifier evaluates the Instructor Candidate on their teaching ability, knowledge, and skills demonstrations. After successful completion, the candidate is awarded the Open Water Instructor Certification
