The SSI Referral Diver program provides students with the knowledge and training necessary to dive autonomously with an equally- or more-qualified buddy in a pool/confined water environment equivalent with their training until they can complete their open water training.
A student that completes all the academic sections and pool/confined water sessions for the Open Water Diver program can be issued the Referral Diver digital card with the intent of completing their open water training dives at a later date, and/or with another SSI Training Center.
The digital Referral Diver card is available in the student’s MySSI account, and their progress can be viewed by any affiliated SSI Training Center.
