SSI Thailand is currently looking for candidates to be sponsored through an ECOLogical Mapping Programme course - EMP.
We are looking at training one person from every associated SSI Thailand school to Specialty instructor level.
The Instructor Course takes four days and teaches candidates how to set up ECOLogical Mapping Programmes and how to conduct on-going reef surveys.
So far three candidates have completed the course and all state they have an increased knowledge of reef structure and its on-going problems.
To start with, we are running this program in the Gulf of Thailand and will be looking at expanding to cover the Andaman coast and beyond over the next year.
Once trained, all certification revenue raised by SSI from EMP Specialty Course students will be directly reinvested into local environmental projects, hopefully setting a precedent for sustainable reef and environmental awareness projects.
Candidates must:
- Be an Active SSI Instructor or DiveCon;
- Be Associated with an Active SSI Dive Centre;
- Have a recommendation from Dive Centre manager/owner;
- Show commitment to offering ongoing EMP training.
Interested?
