Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites to start the ITC?

You must be a certified Divemaster (from SSI, PRO ISO 24801, or any recognized equivalent), have at least 100 logged dives, be at least 18 years old, and hold a valid CPR/First Aid certification (like EFR or React Right) completed within the last 24 months. You must also have a physician's medical clearance.

My Divemaster is from another agency. Can I become an SSI Instructor?

Yes! As long as your Divemaster certification is from a recognized international training agency (like PRO ISO 24801), you can crossover and enter the SSI Instructor Training Course directly.

What is the Instructor Evaluation (IE)?

The IE is an independent examination held after you complete your ITC. An external SSI Examiner evaluates your academic, confined water, and open water teaching abilities to ensure you meet global standards before issuing your instructor license.

Do I need to own my own equipment?

Yes. As an instructor candidate, you are expected to own a complete set of professional-grade dive equipment, including a dive computer, compass, SMB, cutting tool, and timing device.

Do you help with job placement after I pass?

Absolutely. We provide CV workshops and interview preparation during your course. While we cannot guarantee a job at Sanctum Dive, we actively leverage our extensive network across Indonesia to help our successful candidates find employment.

Is there accommodation available?

Yes, you can stay at the Sanctum Hotel, located just 800m uphill from the dive center. We offer special monthly rates for our professional candidates (approx. IDR 8.5M/month) which includes a power shower, aircon, fast internet, and morning pickups.
