as of today i see only 11 ssi shops listed in canada on the ssi locator. no listing for halifax. honestly i think many dealers have felt neglected by ssi and the take over added just enough uncertainty to convince many to jump ship.

I liked SSI. Found their programs to be well structured. I enjoyed teaching with SSI materials a few years ago.
The problem, at least for me (I must clarify that I’m not speaking for anyone other than myself), was that SSI could care less for their instructors.
I don’t need a lot of reassurance from a self-regulating dive organization, but certainly don’t welcome a flagrant lack of understanding of the role and significance instructors have in the formula for success.
If and when they get that right, I will gladly go back. From the O.P. It seems they are now loosing shops. That does not help the cause.
