This program is designed specifically for individuals who may not be able to meet some of the autonomous diver skill requirements for an SSI Open Water Diver certification. SSI Classified diving instructors know how to adapt the SSI Open Water Diver program and training materials to meet their students’ specific needs. All classified diving students still complete every skill evaluation from the Open Water Diver program. However, based on their capabilities, particular techniques may change, and assistance is permitted to perform the skill.
