To become a diving instructor, you want one thing above all: to spend a lot of time in the water. Routine diving and experience are of course an extremely important part of your career.
But you also need a lot of theory. Not only do you need to ensure that your diving knowledge is up to date – you can review your previous courses for this – but you also need to learn how the different courses are structured, how they fit together and how best to train them.
At this point, you can prepare a lot so that you simply don’t have any more stress during the actual course. We not only give you access to the SSI material (which you can buy from us even if you do the course elsewhere!), but also other preparation tools. <\/p>\n
