Proof of SSI certs and specialties

[Codiak]

SSI Divers may print out their certifications from the SSI home page. Go to http://www.divessi.com/home nd click on MySSI. .

Just checked and this site is open Dive leaders and shops only, I wish they would open it to rec divers.

I am in need of a way to get a replacement dive card with SSI. My card and log book are MIA. I do have the information of when, where and with whom I got my initial certification. Can anyone help. the divessi.com site is not very user friendly and I can not seem to find the form to get replacement cards. Thanks in advance for your help.

SSI Divers may print out their certifications from the SSI home page. Go to http://www.divessi.com/home nd click on MySSI. Now click on ONLine Check, click the agreement box and then enter your first name, last name and DOB (Make sure it's in the right format) You should get a list of all the SSI specialties you have. Print it out that should suffice as proof. You can even print temp cards if you've lost your c-card. PADI requires DiveMaster candidates have proof of Advanced certification and Rescue Diver Cert, which SSI treats as a specialty. Good Luck with your course.

I just did this - it works!

Good info to know...

yes you are correct I meant to say dive master

Why not simply take the SSI Dixe Control Specialist course? I did some research and believe it is a much better training course than the other.

Unless you're planning on becoming an instructor there's little benefit in getting either PADI DM or SSI DCS. If you just want to "progress" and raise new challenges in your diving then do an intro-tech course.

If you do want to work in diving then decide which agency you want to teach for and move to them for the duration. Though I advise you that there's no money in diving!

You enlighten us; as you wrote, you did both. Your experience is much more valuable than my opinion, isn't it?

Your the one that did the research and wish to pontificate. Be my guest. Please enlighten us with your "research"

I am a PADI DM and an SSI DCS and I don't want to be an instructor. Did I do something wrong ?

I said "little" benefit, not "no" benefit. Obviously there are exceptions and you sound like one of them. But tell me, do you actively use these qualifications, or did you just get them for the experience and because it was nice to have the cards?
