Step up from guiding to teaching with the SSI Open Water Instructor programme in Alor, an off-grid Indonesian island where reading current is part of the craft. Candidates polish teaching presentations in the calm bays near Kalabahi before running open-water training sessions on Alor's reefs and macro slopes, finishing certified to teach SSI's core programmes and issue certifications of their own.
SSI certifies instructors through an Instructor Training Course and Instructor Evaluation conducted by an authorised SSI Instructor Trainer or examiner. SSI ratings are recognised worldwide alongside other WRSTC-member agencies, and you teach using SSI's free digital training materials.
Confined-skill teaching uses the sheltered bays near Kalabahi, while open-water presentations run on Alor's reefs and macro slopes where students stay supervised in steady conditions. Stronger-current sites like Munaseli and Halerman are used to demonstrate briefing and current management to professional standard.
