Divemaster/Dive Control Specialist
Dive Control Specialist is our initial dive leadership level and is considered
by many as the "fun" leadership rating. That's because you can do more
than any other entry-level dive leader. You can do more because you receive both
dive master and assistant instructor training in the Dive Control Specialist
course. With other agencies, these courses are separate.
As a Dive Control Specialist you can:
· Work on dive boats, at resorts and retail stores, and take people diving
· Lead dive trips and tours
· Assist SSI Instructors in the pool and open water
· Teach skills in the pool under the direct supervision of an SSI Instructor
· Teach the SSI Scuba Skills Update program
· Teach the SSI Snorkeling program
· Teach selected SSI Specialty courses
· Teach selected First Aid and CPR programs
· Teach Scuba Rangers (after completing the Scuba Rangers Instructor training)
You will study advanced physics, physiology and decompression theory. You'll
practice advanced rescue techniques, fine-tune your diving skills and learn the
basics of teaching. Plus, there's a high demand for Dive Control Specialists
at retail shops and exotic resorts. |
