Training options include:

• Divemaster: The Divemaster rating is the highest leadership level certification, except for instructor certification. The program is designed to train experienced and knowledgeable divers to organize and conduct enjoyable open water dives for certified divers. If all other prerequisites are met, a current Divemaster is qualified to enter a Instructor Training Course (ITC).
• Assistant Instructor: The Assistant Instructor rating is a leadership level certification. The program is designed to introduce students to diving instruction basics. It also teaches individuals the fundamental water skills needed to be capable assistants. Certification authorizes individuals to assist active-status Instructors in the conduct of dive training. Assistant Instructor certification is a highly-recommended step in the progression to Instructor.
