The SSI Referral & Crossover pathway

An SSI referral lets you complete your open-water training dives through a different SSI Training Center, with your digital record verifying completed sections. The same framework supports crossovers, where divers from other agencies complete an orientation to dive within the SSI system.

Where you'll dive in Grand Cayman

Referral dives use sheltered, shallow reef off George Town's western shoreline, where calm, warm and clear water makes completing the open-water training dives relaxed and efficient.
