Your SSI Certification
The certification you earn by completing your scuba training meets and exceeds globally recognized standards for safety and quality.
These standards are established by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Your SSI Dive Center (Scuba Academy Manila) is part of an international SSI Family dedicated to the highest standards of safety and education. This family includes SSI Dive Professionals, SSI Dive Centers and Resorts, and divers like yourself.
SSI has been an industry leader since its founding in 1970, and is constantly improving training materials and techniques to improve your personal safety and experience.
The SSI Open Water Diver program provides students with the knowledge and training necessary to dive autonomously with an equally or more qualified buddy, in environments equivalent with their training and to depths shallower than 18 meters.
