The course
Every dive boat needs someone who knows the site, gives a clear briefing and keeps the group together. The SNSI Dive Guide course is your first step into professional diving: you learn to lead certified divers and snorkelers, read the conditions, spot the early signs of panic and handle an emergency calmly. A role you can take to dive centers all over the world, and the gateway to Divemaster.
