This initiative is part of SSI’s ongoing commitment to fostering new talent and promoting growth within the diving industry.”
The SSI Divemaster Internship will provide participants with their SSI Divemaster certification and hands-on experience, skills, and confidence needed to excel in a diving career.
The SSI Divemaster membership rating is recognized globally for employment opportunities and represents a significant milestone in an individual’s scuba diving development – and is the pivotal first step in becoming an SSI Professional.
The professional rating enables recipients to lead and mentor other divers, assist SSI Instructors in training, and conduct certain diving activities independently.
Many SSI Divemasters continue careers in marine conservation, film and television, the Armed Forces and underwater archaeology, while also having the option to work worldwide as an SSI Professional.
To qualify for the SSI Divemaster Internship, participants will need to have logged 40+ dives and show completion of the SSI Open Water Diver, SSI Advanced Open Water Diver, SSI Rescue Diver course, Reacty Right Emergency Care courses (or qualifying certifications from other organizations) and be medically cleared for diving by a physician within the past 12 months.
