The SSI Divemaster pathway

SSI uses free digital materials and a performance-based model where skill circuits can be repeated until mastered; the rating is certified through an SSI Training Center and delivered as an SSI digital card.

Where you'll dive in Cancun Cozumel

Guiding practice happens on Cozumel's drift reefs such as Palancar and Santa Rosa Wall, with calmer Cielo and Paradise reefs (8-20 m) used for mapping and demonstrations. Excellent year-round visibility makes the Cancún-Cozumel area ideal for learning to read sites and brief divers.
