SSI Dive Control Specialist, or DiveCon, is our initial dive leadership level and is considered by many as the "fun" leadership rating. It's fun and satisfying because you can do more than any other entry-level dive leader.

As a Dive Control Specialist you can:

• Work on dive boats, at resorts and retail stores, and take people diving
• Lead dive trips and tours
• Assist SSI Instructors in the pool and open water
• Teach skills in the pool under the supervision of an SSI Instructor        
• Teach the SSI Scuba Skills Update program
• Teach and certify SSI Snorkelers
• Teach selected SSI Specialty courses
• Teach selected First Aid and CPR programs 
• Teach the Scuba Rangers Children's Program

You can do more because you receive both dive master and assistant instructor training in the Dive Control Specialist course. With other agencies these components are separate courses. You will study advanced physics, physiology and decompression theory. You'll practice advanced rescue techniques, fine-tune your diving skills and learn the basics of teaching. Plus, there's a high demand for SSI Dive Control Specialists at retail shops and exotic resorts worldwide.

Practical Application

The student has the choice of lectures or by completing an internship with us. The internship is really the best option as it allows you to gain skills in the real world environment. In the internship you will assist in all levels of dive training both in the pool and the open water. This allows you to gain experience and confidence with your diving skills.

To complete the course the candidate must have done minimum of 60 logged dives. The course includes all the dives needed to achieve the 60 dives.
