What is SSI?
Scuba Schools International (SSI) It was born from the passion of diving enthusiasts who wanted diving to be accessible to everyone, not just a few elite divers.
SSI has been offering diving teaching materials, training, and certifications to divers, instructors, and dive centers worldwide for more than 40 years.
Established in 1970, SSI has grown to operate in more than 110 countries, with over 2,500 international locations and materials available in over 25 languages, becoming the largest dive agency in the world.
At Brothers Diving, we've chosen SSI for its
training philosophy
A training that focuses on quality and follows a methodology that allows divers like you to practice, until they feel safe and comfortable.
- They provide a study system featuring a digital kit with manuals, videos, quizzes, and exams, accessible right from the start through the app mySSI. This allows you to study at your own pace and from any location prior to getting in the water.
- At the dive center, you’ll be under the guidance of an SSI instructor, who will help you apply your newfound knowledge and practice techniques until you feel confident and comfortable.
- We’ll teach you all about scuba gear, how it works and how to handle it during your dives.
- We encourage you to keep diving and continue your training to gain more experience and enjoy diving more and more.
Because in the end, it’s all about one thing… Enjoying the experience of diving.
