Scuba Schools International has announced that its footprint across North America is expanding with the addition of 25 new dive centers.
One of the latest additions is Scuba Adventure in Jefferson City, Missouri. The new facility features 23 instructors and over 250 new SSI professional certifications.
Commenting on the new addition, the facility’s owner, Chris Heitman, stated:
“The onboarding has been straightforward and supportive. SSI made the transition smooth, with clear guidance and accessible resources. It felt like SSI was truly invested in our success as a dive center. For years, dive centers have been paying higher and higher fees only to be undercut by their own agency.
“SSI is the opposite—it partners with dive centers instead of competing with them. The financial savings and benefits are overwhelming – it’s clear we made the right move. The digital materials and MySSI app are a game-changer—they streamline training, improve the student experience, and save significant costs. The marketing support and business resources SSI provides are tools we never had access to before. SSI also offers a wider variety of classes and greater profit opportunities, giving us more ways to serve students and grow sustainably.”
Heitman added:
“Don’t wait as long as I did. The transition is smoother than you expect, the savings are immediate, and the long-term opportunities are far greater. The benefits of joining SSI outweigh any hesitation. We’re proud to be part of SSI and excited about a future with an agency that stands alongside dive centers instead of against them.”
