As symbolized in SSI's Diver Diamond, experience is a crucial factor in becoming a comfortable, competent diver. SSI is the only agency that offers divers a way to measure their experience and provide goals to aim for. Because diving often becomes a lifetime of adventure, SSI's ten Levels of Experience start at five dives and culminate with 5,000 dives. Your SSI Authorized Dealer can upgrade your certification card and DiveLog every time you reach a new level. Then when you go diving and show your certification card, you will get the recognition that a diver with your experience so richly deserves.
