I was registering for Odin on the SSI site and notice there is a new class that instructors can teach. The details are below. I think it might be something I start doing with the college students who don't want to be certified. I will see as after I read the standards and get a little more information. NEW: SSI INDOOR DIVER Indoor Diver – A new approach with SSI! SSI as one of the leading training agencies worldwide with more than 2000 Dive Centers and training materials in more than 25 languages presents as the first complete Indoor Training System. Diving is a very relaxing and at the same time exciting activity which is suitable for all age levels. But you may have never ever have thought of taking your complete training in an Indoor Dive Center during the cold season. This is now possible with the new SSI Indoor Diver Program and it provides a lot of advantages: * People interested in diving can do a full diver training program any time regardless the season under ideal conditions * After successful completion of the Indoor Diver Program divers can directly take their first Specialty Course Programs. By doing so they will be able to collect valuable diving experience and gain necessary comfort before they go to the open water the first time * People who enjoy the feeling of diving and being weightless but who do not want to go in the open water at all can enjoy themselves and get the opportunity to live their diving dreams * An upgrade to SSI Open Water Diver is possible any time and even on the next holiday. The update is very flexible so the divers will not feel that they have to do the same thing twice. All open water exercises can be redone throughout all four open water dives or they can be compressed in one dive so the divers have the chance to enjoy the other three. Just get your personal Open Water Diver Kit at your SSI Dive Center and make the first steps towrds your new leasure activity. Your Kit contains a manual and a DVD which provides more background information, practical application and hints for an enjoyable entry into diving. There is a lot to discover as diving is only really fun with the right skills and in quality diving equipment. The Indoor Diver creates opportunities as after successful completion you can start new adventures straight away. You can continue your education and combine Specialty Course programs in areas like Digital Underwater Photography, Perfect Buoyancy, Equipment Techniques and Shark Diver. The possibilities are limitless and you do nothing twice as you can upgrade your status to Open Water Diver any time in one of the SSI Dive Centers around the world. Once the upgrade is done your "Indoor Specialties" count towards all other Continuing Education Ratings like Specialty Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver and Master Diver. Just get additional information about your possibilities at one of the 2000 SSI Dive Centers or directly from the SSI Headquarter.
