Step up from guiding to teaching with the SSI Open Water Instructor programme in Krabi, based at the Ao Nang dive hub on Thailand's Andaman coast. The warm 27-30°C water and varied reefs and pinnacles around Phi Phi give candidates a real-world environment to build and assess teaching presentations before the SSI Instructor Evaluation. You qualify ready to certify your own students through SSI's digital training system.
The SSI programme trains you through the SSI digital system and assesses you at an Instructor Evaluation conducted by an authorised Instructor Trainer. On passing you become a recognised SSI Open Water Instructor, able to certify divers worldwide through SSI's online platform.
Workshops use the calm reefs and bays boated from Ao Nang, with speedboat access to the Phi Phi island sites in the November-to-April season when conditions are most settled. The SSI Instructor Evaluation is conducted by an authorised SSI Instructor Trainer / Examiner.
