PRODUCT DETAILS
Being a part of the SSI family as a Professional gives you unparalleled access to responsive, world-class customer service and a seemingly endless list of programs and benefits. SSI is dedicated to supporting you, so you can create the career of your dreams. If you currently hold a rating from another recognized agency and see the limitless possibilities SSI offers, we have a crossover program for you. This program is intended to provide you with an orientation to Extended Range philosophies and procedures, training standards, the SSI Education System and the Extended Range scuba skills required in the Extended Range training programs. The ratings you currently hold with your recognized agency will be crossed over with SSI ratings if there is an equivalent course in SSI. After completion, you can continue your career with SSI without limits! This course also acts as an update for SSI Professionals who have been in inactive status for at least 2 years. This program is intended to provide an orientation for the SSI Dive Professional candidate to Extended Range philosophies and procedures, training standards, the SSI Education System and the Extended Range scuba skills required in the Extended Range training programs.
