Become a certified SSI Instructor and teach diving in one of the world's most prestigious dive destinations. The ITC prepares you to certify new divers and build a professional career in diving.
The SSI Instructor Training Course (ITC) is the final stage of preparation before your SSI Instructor Evaluation. The program covers SSI teaching standards, academic presentations, confined water instruction techniques, and open water training methodologies, preparing you to teach and certify new divers independently.
Completing your ITC in Komodo offers exceptional advantages: training in challenging real-world conditions, access to some of the planet's best dive sites for demonstration dives, and integration with an established professional dive community. The ITC typically runs over 7–10 days and requires SSI Divemaster certification, current React Right certification, and a minimum of 100 logged dives as prerequisites.
The SSI Instructor Training Course in Komodo prepares you to teach diving in one of the world's most demanding and rewarding environments. Graduate with the skills and confidence to instruct anywhere on the planet.

Ask about SSI Instructor Training CourseNot all dive centers are created equal. Here's what to look for when choosing where to do your SSI course in Komodo.
Instructor Experience
Look for SSI instructors at Diamond or Elite certification level — the highest SSI instructor ratings. Ask how many certifications they've completed and whether they specialise in your target program.
Safety Standards
Ensure they have emergency oxygen, first aid kits, and DAN insurance on every boat. Ask about emergency protocols and equipment servicing schedules — SSI centres should follow SSI safe diving standards.
Equipment Quality
Ask to see the student equipment before committing. Modern, well-maintained gear from recognised brands (Scubapro, Mares, Cressi) ensures a better and safer learning experience.
Group Size
Smaller student groups mean better instructor attention and faster skill development. Look for centres offering 2–4 students per instructor rather than filling sessions to maximum capacity.
Boat Quality
Long days at sea require comfortable, well-equipped boats. Check for shade, toilets, safety gear, and a clean dive deck. A good boat makes your training days significantly more enjoyable.
Reviews & Reputation
Read recent reviews focusing on instructor communication, patience, and how the centre handles students who progress at different speeds. Consistent high ratings over many reviews are a strong signal.
