SSI Career Programs

Your career in the diving sector
The diving industry is a market that has existed for many decades. It has a clientele that is very diverse in age, language and culture. It is a sector of different disciplines that covers the entire world and unites people of different origins. Diving is practiced where there is water and is constantly evolving due to technological innovations that enrich our underwater world. In order for the millions of divers to be able to dive safely or become divers, we need you. You can be part of this world by turning your passion for the sea, diving, and direct contact with people into your job.
There is a huge demand for diving guides and instructors in the industry right now. From the most remote destinations, liveaboards, diving resorts to local diving centres far from the sea and also here in Mallorca there is a shortage of diving professionals. At our certification agency, the fastest growing in the world, the demand is even higher and we are looking forward to the next generation of professionals and hopefully you!
