Dive Control Specialist (DCS)

Divemaster + Dive Control Specialist = Assistant Instructor. As a DCS you can teach lecture and pool classes with indirect supervision. By assisting an active SSI Instructor with open water training the DCS can collect valuable training experience which is the best possible preparation for an Instructor Training Course (ITC).

  • Lead and guide certified divers

  • Work on dive boats, at resorts and retail stores,
        and take people diving

  • Assist SSI Instructors in the classroom, pool
        and open water

  • Teach skills in the classroom and pool
        under indirect supervision of an SSI
        Instructor (except emergency skills)
