Learn to Become a Professional Scuba Instructor With Blue Region Scuba's Professional Instructor Training Program

Why SSI Instructors are More Marketable

Blue Region Scuba's SSI Instructors possess business knowledge that instructors from other agencies don't. The expanded course content of the Blue Region Scuba's ITC gives you an edge over "teaching only" programs and makes you a much more valuable, well-rounded employee. This is what good Professional Dive Stores are looking for.
SSI Instructors represent the best of both worlds. You are trained to use the award-winning SSI Teaching System and you are trained to be a professional skilled educator.
SSI Instructors are able to conduct the Universal Referral Program. This program allows you to complete referral dives through six different agencies: IDEA NASDS, NAUI, PDIC, SSI and the YMCA. This is particularly valuable to resorts that receive customers affiliated with various certification agencies.
