SSI provide recognition of gaining experience through a combination of logged dives and specialty training.

Specialty courses can either be chosen and taken separately but the best way – and the most cost effective way is to choose our bundle packages. These are available for Specialty Diver, Advanced Diver and Master Diver.

SSI Specialty Diver is your first step toward becoming an SSI Master Diver, and can begin as soon as you complete your Open Water Diver training. By completing any two SSI specialty programmes that interest you, and logging 12 open water dives, you will automatically receive the SSI Specialty Diver recognition rating, along with your SSI Specialty programme certifications.
