You need to know the required scuba diving equipment for the SSI ITC and indeed throughout your scuba diving career.
SSI Instructors are required to wear specific equipment (not missing any) when they are teaching SSI programs. They are also required to have teaching items.
During the SSI ITC and SSI IE you will be expected to have the required scuba diving equipment when you are giving your teaching presentations.
While it is possible to hire the required dive gear from Ocean Tribe, as a dive professional you really should invest in your own set of scuba equipment. As the tools of the trade and something you will be working with day-in-day-out. We offer extreme discounts on dive gear from X-Deep, Shearwater, Oceanic, Hollis, Aqualung, Scubapro, Fourth Element, and Beaver to our go-pro dive students. We can also advise on the best equipment to get as a dive professional starting out.
