Add a specialty to your instructor credentials. Teach the courses your students actually want.
Specialty Instructor training certifies you to teach a specific SSI specialty course as an instructor.
Price per specialty. Choose from the full SSI specialty range. You need instructor experience and the diver-level certification in the specialty before completing instructor training. One to two days per specialty, depending on required training dives. Each specialty you can teach is a bookable product you can add to your own schedule.
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.

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.
