Choose your certification path

Complete through SSI
Pros: Keep your training record and final certification with SSI.
Con: We need complete, current SSI referral records and must follow SSI completion requirements.

Choose an SDI Global Referral
Pros: Finish with SDI and continue into Stuart Scuba’s SDI training pathway.
Con: This path awards an SDI Open Water Diver certification rather than an SSI certification. Your SDI instructor will verify your completed SSI eLearning. You do not need to buy SDI educational materials for this cross-agency referral. The fee is $499 per student and includes all rental gear, one day of beach dives, and one day of boat dives.

Send your referral paperwork for review before booking. We’ll confirm eligibility, agency requirements, schedule, conditions, and dive plan. Certification requires successful completion of all required skills and dives.
