SSI Specialty Instructor · Expand what you can teach
Teach more, earn more, inspire more
The SSI Instructor Specialties program allows certified SSI instructors to expand the range of courses they can teach by adding specialties to their teaching authorization.
Each specialty requires a specific Specialty Instructor certification. We offer a range of specialty instructor ratings including Night & Limited Visibility Diving, Deep Diving, Navigation, Buoyancy and more — each tailored to the Caribbean dive environment in Cozumel and the Riviera Maya.
