SSI Instructor Courses<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that becoming a dive instructor with SSI can save you around\u00a020 million IDR<\/strong>\u00a0compared to instructor courses from some other dive organisations? And no\u2026 this is not because the training quality is lower. In fact, the opposite might surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many future dive professionals only look at the \u201ccourse price\u201d when comparing instructor courses. But the real costs of becoming a dive instructor are divided into\u00a0three major components<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Course fees
\u2705 Digital materials
\u2705 Membership and professional fees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here comes the interesting part\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0course fees themselves are almost the same everywhere<\/strong>. Whether you choose SSI or another major dive organisation, the actual training costs at the dive center are usually very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where does the massive difference come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 The digital materials and membership fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly where SSI has changed the game. SSI focuses heavily on user-friendly digital systems and lower professional costs, making the total investment to become a dive instructor dramatically cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we are not talking about small savings\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca5 Around 20 MILLION IDR cheaper \ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means you can spend your money on:
\ud83c\udf34 More travel
\ud83e\udd3f More diving
\ud83c\udfdd\ufe0f Extra time in Indonesia
\ud83d\udcf8 Better equipment
\ud83c\udf79 Actually enjoying island life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of paying extremely high registration and membership costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\u00a0Oceans 5 Gili Air<\/a>, we believe becoming a dive instructor should be about:
\u2714\ufe0f Becoming a confident professional
\u2714\ufe0f Learning realistic teaching techniques
\u2714\ufe0f Protecting the ocean
\u2714\ufe0f Building your future career<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014not about spending unnecessary amounts of money on administrative fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an SSI Instructor Training Center<\/a> on the beautiful\u00a0Gili Air, we focus on small groups, realistic teaching methods, neutral buoyancy training, and making environmentally aware dive professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 16-day SSI Instructor Training Course is designed to create instructors who are ready for the real world of diving \u2014 not just instructors who can pass an exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
