SSI launches new global Dive Center Standards

For over 35 years SSI has stood for high quality training.

SSI only works with Dive Leaders now and in future who are affiliated with professional Dive Centers. Since the beginning SSI Dive Centers must provide a retail surrounding with regular opening hours and the business needs to be conducted with an approach of quality and professionalism.
The time has passed by and the market has changed driven by the needs of the modern customers. Based on that fact the Dive Center Standards have been completely revised and supplemented.

A new quality label was founded in this transition – The DIAMOND Status
The SSI Diamond Dive Center Status recognizes SSI Dive Centers that make a commitment to excellence and leadership in the categories of

• BUSINESS PRACTICES & ETHICS
• QUALITY ASSURANCE
• EDUCATION COMMITMENT
• CUSTOMER SERVICE
• DIVING PASSION.

Only Dive Centers recognized as the leaders in their marketplace can be considered for the SSI Diamond Dive Center rating.

Any Dive Center or Dive Resort can reach out for the DIAMOND Status regardless, if Instructor Training is offered or not. But the SSI DIAMOND DIVE CENTER rating is a privilege. All accounts are reviewed frequently to ensure they continue to meet or exceed the standards. SSI reserves the right to revoke the SSI Diamond rating, if the account, in SSI’s judgment, does not meet the standards.
The goal of the new Dive Center Standards is to provide more transparency in finding an outstanding Dive Center. In addition to that very ambitious SSI Partners get the chance to receive recognition for their performance.
