Cross the line from dive guide to dive educator with the SSI Open Water Instructor programme on the Perhentian Islands, Malaysia. Training in the sheltered, warm waters off Long Beach and Coral Bay gives candidates a calm, controlled setting to build their teaching presentations and master SSI's digital training system before the Instructor Evaluation. You graduate certified to teach SSI courses and certify your own students.
SSI instructor training is delivered through authorised SSI Instructor Trainers and assessed at an Instructor Evaluation. SSI certifications are recognised worldwide and run through a digital platform, so on qualifying you can teach and certify divers internationally as a professional SSI member.
Teaching workshops use the sheltered, shallow bays off Long Beach and Coral Bay on Perhentian Kecil, where calm conditions and water around 27-30°C through the March-to-October season are ideal for rehearsing pool and open-water teaching. The Instructor Evaluation is conducted by an SSI Instructor Certifier.
