SSI FACILITIES AND RESORTS - THE FIRST CHOICE AROUND THE WORLD!
In order to fulfill the quality approach SSI has set for itself, any potential SSI Dive Center will be reviewed and approved by SSI Headquarters.
Each SSI Dive Center must adhere to the SSI Dealer & Training Standards. This ensures that customers will get the best possible diving services at all times.
The SSI Dealer & Training Standards are reviewed annually and the intent is also to provide an overview of the requirements for SSI Dealerships.
