SSI Dive Control Specialist is SSI's initial dive
leadership level and is considered by many as the "fun" leadership rating.
That's because you can do more than any other entry-level dive leader. You
can do more because you receive both dive master and assistant instructor
training in the SSI Dive Control Specialist course. With other agencies,
these courses are separate. |
