Train instructor candidates as an SSI Assistant Instructor Trainer. The credential that lets you co-deliver ITCs.
The Assistant Instructor Trainer (AIT) certification is the step beyond instructor.
It qualifies you to assist in the delivery of Instructor Training Courses, working alongside an Instructor Trainer to develop instructor candidates. Only available at SSI Instructor Training Centers. Wanderlust Dive Pro is the only SSI ITC on Bonaire. Requirements are specific and prior approval is required before a date can be set.
Most people who get certified at home spend their first real dive trip adjusting. Different visibility, colder water, unfamiliar conditions. On Bonaire, your training dives happen on the same reef you'll dive independently afterward. You get certified and comfortable in one trip. Nothing to re-learn the next time you come back.
Step by step training designed to build real confidence underwater.
Questions about your specific kit? Mention it when you fill in the dive plan form.
Wanderlust is run by Stephan and Linda. Not a franchise, not a large operation with rotating staff. The person who greets you on day one takes you into the water. Same face, start to finish.
Groups cap at four. Often smaller. Sometimes it is just you and an instructor. Your certification is processed the same day you complete your final training dive.
