This is the big one, the “I’m ready” certification!
Take people diving for the very first time and share that moment of wonder with a student’s first glimpse of the undersea world. This Instructor Development Course builds on what was learned in the SSI Assistant Instructor course and helps students hone the necessary skills, techniques, and experience to independently teach open water scuba training courses, as well as safely teach and guide non-certified divers underwater.
This course may be combined with the Assistant Instructor course.
An independent Instructor Evaluation is conducted at the end of the course. HDA makes every reasonable effort to ensure students are ready to pass the Instructor Evaluation. However, completing the course does not guarantee the candidate will pass their Instructor Evaluation. The instructor exam may be re-taken if needed.
How It Works
This course starts with online e-Learning. We step back into the classroom and teach you how to give lessons to students. You prepare lectures and learn how to lead discussions with students. We also spend at least 3 days in both confined and open water environments where you learn to present and evaluate skills in those contexts. This course usually takes 9-10 days.
Timeline
The Instructor Training Course is conducted over two weeks.
The first week is split between classroom sessions and confined water sessions. Week two is more classroom and pool time but also includes open water dives. Sessions are usually 4-5 hours long but may be longer depending on how much practice you need.
The Instructor course prepares students for the Instructor Exam, a 2 day session with an SSI examiner who actually issues the certification.

Instructor Exam
Upon completion of this course, you will be qualified to take the Instructor Examination, administered by SSI. Once you pass the Instructor Examination, you are a certified Open Water Instructor who can independently teach new divers. You can also teach Enriched Air Nitrox, Advanced Adventurer, Stress and Rescue, and Dive Guide.
What To Bring
- All divers who are working their way towards earning an Assistant Instructor Certification must own their own equipment. This includes a wetsuit, fins, mask, snorkel, BCD, regulator, gauge, and dive computer.
- You will need a laptop or other device with hdmi port for presentations as well as several pens.
- You can bring a towael, sunglasses & maybe a hat for the boat trips (we have a dry storage area).
