What Every Dive Leader Should Know

The delivery of quality education requires four players which are defined by SSI's Education Diamond. Remove any element of the Diamond and quality education cannot be accomplished.

• Diver
  Divers who commit to scuba as a long-term recreational activity provide a source of customers for the diving industry. Proper development of long-term divers by Instructors, Dealers and SSI is crucial to the long-term health of our sport.
• Instructor
  Professional, caring Instructors interact with students and create divers. They are the critical link to ensuring that SSI's Philosophy and Standards are implemented successfully in the Dealer's scuba school.
• Dealer
  Full-service Dealers provide a scuba school (facilities and training equipment) as well as equipment sales and service, organized diving opportunities (both locally and abroad), a source of information and a sense of community, all on a long-term basis.
• SSI
  SSI provides: Training Standards, general parameters for training; an Education System with programs and products; and an Education Philosophy which determines the type of student produced.
