Step up from guiding to teaching with the SSI Open Water Instructor program on Grand Cayman, qualifying you to certify your own students through the SSI training system. The island's calm Caribbean water, the shallow flats off Seven Mile Beach and quick access to the clear West Wall give candidates an ideal environment to polish teaching presentations and meet standards before the SSI Instructor Evaluation. You complete the program ready to work as a professional SSI instructor anywhere in the world.
SSI instructor training is delivered through an authorised SSI Training Center and assessed at an SSI Instructor Evaluation. On passing you become a recognised SSI Open Water Instructor, able to certify divers worldwide through SSI's digital, performance-based system.
Teaching practice happens in the protected shallows off George Town and on the clear West Wall reefs, where 30-metre-plus visibility and calm conditions from April to November in warm 25-29C water make an excellent professional training ground.
