The SSI Divemaster pathway

SSI splits dive leadership into the Dive Guide and Divemaster ratings, both issued through the SSI digital certification system. Divemaster is the first professional level and the prerequisite for SSI instructor training.

Where you'll dive in Cyprus

Training spans Ayia Napa and Protaras, with guiding and mapping practice at sheltered sites like Green Bay and Cape Greco and dive time on the Zenobia wreck through the warm April-to-November season.
