Scuba Schools International grew out of the passion of a few avid divers who were intent on making it possible for anyone to learn how to scuba dive.

For more than 45 years, SSI has provided training, scuba diving certification, and educational resources for divers, SSI professionals, and Training Centers and resorts around the world. Founded in 1970, SSI has expanded to include more than 30 Service Centers and is represented in more than 110 countries with over 3,000 international locations, with digital and printed materials in more than 30 languages.

SSI is recognized anywhere you want to dive.

Since June 1, 2010, Scuba Schools International is one of the few training agencies who qualified for a Global ISO Certification. 7 SSI Programs, 5 for divers and 2 for instructors, have certifications that meet the International Standards – ISO 11121 for Try Scuba Diving, ISO 24801-1 to -3 for Scuba Diver to Dive Guide, ISO 11107 for Enriched Air Nitrox and 24802-1 and -2 for Dive Control Specialist and Open Water Instructor. Due to that the SSI C-Cards for the appropriate ratings will carry the ISO quality label in the future.
