Step up to teaching scuba with the SSI Open Water Instructor programme, based out of Khao Lak on the doorstep of the Similan Islands. You complete the Instructor Training Course on the calm local reefs, rehearsing teaching presentations and skill demonstrations before the SSI Instructor Evaluation, then graduate ready to certify your own students across the Andaman's premier dive sites.
SSI delivers instructor training through authorised Training Centres using the SSI Total Diving System, and certification follows a successful Instructor Evaluation. The SSI Open Water Instructor rating is recognised worldwide via the SSI digital credential and qualifies you to teach SSI programmes.
Instructor candidates train on the calm local reefs off Khao Lak during the November-to-April season, with the Similan national-park reefs, Koh Bon and Koh Tachai close by for experience-building fun dives. The Instructor Evaluation is conducted by an SSI Instructor Certifier.
