SSI Specialty Instructor Training Details
Expanding your specialty instructor ratings is one of the most effective ways to increase your teaching opportunities and stand out in the competitive dive industry. For instructors planning to work in the UK, we strongly recommend building a core set of ratings—Dry Suit, Wreck, Deep, Navigation, and Night & Limited Visibility—that align with the most in-demand local training needs. If you prefer a flexible approach, individual Specialty Instructor eLearning packs allow you to target specific areas at your own pace. Alternatively, the SSI Specialty Instructor Bundle offers exceptional value, giving you five specialty kits for the price of four and accelerating your path to a more versatile, marketable instructing career. Every step of the way, Tracey will work closely with you to ensure your chosen specialties match your goals, your local diving environment, and your long-term career pathway.
