Assistant Instructor Course

The SSI Assistant Instructor course consists of two parts:

A) Practical application sessions in the pool and at sea:

In this component of your training, you will further develop the necessary skills and experience.
You will develop your ability to conduct academic and in-water training sessions, monitor and evaluate students, and promote SSI teaching and business philosophies for the benefit of yourself, the training center, and the entire dive industry.

B) Academic Sessions

They include classes, workshops and presentations of SSI diving courses, led by your SSI Instructor Trainer.
Many people are not natural public speakers. Speaking in front of strangers, even in a small classroom and on a subject you know well, can be challenging and intimidating. Preparing and practicing your presentation beforehand allows you to identify what terminology to use, where to incorporate pauses or inflection to emphasize important points.
The certified Assistant Instructor can teach the theory of the Open Water Diver course to their students, so that at the same time you will learn how to do it with the academic sessions.

Attributions of an Assistant Instructor:
Once you are Assistant Instructor you will be able to :
- Guide certified divers during dives in dive centers, dive boats, etc.
- Conduct scuba training from entry level programs under the supervision of an Open Water Instructor
- Assist an instructor and independently teach the Scuba Skills Update, Try Scuba and Perfect Buoyancy programs
- Teach theory and pool / confined water sessions of the Open Water Diver program with the exception of emergency ascent skills that must be done under the indirect supervision of an Open Water Instructor.
