SSI Certifications- Diving Certifications for Everyone!
When it comes to diving in open water, many dive outfitters require each individual hold some sort of diving certification in order to qualify for the trip. This certification ensures the outfitter that each person diving is knowledgeable and experienced. Although there are a number of licenses for underwater trips, the SSI certification is one of the most conclusive diving educations available to people of all ages.
What’s SSI
SSI stands for Scuba Schools International, an open water diving school that offers personalized training to help each of their students become more comfortable diving in open water.

This course offers three main focuses: academics, pool training, and open water sessions. The academics portion of the course is located online, allowing each person to learn at their own pace. The pool training comes after the academic studies, and allows each individual to get accustomed to their breathing gear and wetsuits. After the pool training, each student must finish at least 4 open water dives. This allows everyone to practice all of their diving techniques in a true open water
The First five weeks the student’s learn life saving, knot tying, underwater knot tying, basic first aid, and surf passages in small inflatable boats. Along with this is a 50-yard underwater swim, which must be completed and the students are often revived when they pass out. Also throughout out the whole six months of BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition School), the Seal Teams go through many torturous events and lessons. One of these being surf torture. This is where the entire class must wade into the surf zone to their waistline, then sit down with arms linked. Just to let you know the water in Coronado, California never gets above sixty-eight degrees during the summer and fifty-eight degrees during the winter. There the men with linked arms will sit there for hours at a time, soon the cold sucks out all of their body warmth and the whole class is shivering in unison as the waves crash over there heads.
Once a student is officially eligible for special education, an interdisciplinary team will work together to write the IEP.
A health care directive is a legal document, based on personal values and beliefs, providing people with a sense of control and independence for their medical care. The purpose of a health care directive is to allow personal wishes on various treatments options to be met, when the individual is presented incapable. Since it is a legal document, health care professionals and family members have to abide with individual’s health care directive. Personally I value autonomy, independence, family, dignity, and selflessness. These core personal values allow me to reflect, fully comprehend and accept the consequences to the health care decisions I make for myself. In conclusion, the sections of the health care directive
Medicare was designed as a universal healthcare program for individuals 65 years old and older. This program is funded by Medicare taxes and general federal funding withholding taxes. Medicare is a partnership between federal and state with the goal to provide medical insurance to the elderly that is poor and disabled. Generally all people who are 65 years or older and qualify for social security will automatically qualify for Medicare.
As far as education goes, they must complete a minimum of 2 years in college. Which they are required to take 6 hours of English, 8 hours of Biology and/or Zoology, 6 hours of Mathematics, 4 hours of Ichthyology, Biology of fishes, Fisheries management, Limnology, and lastly Aquatic Ecology. But these requirements may be satisfied by 4 years of fisheries management or 5 years of experience in fish culture.
Social security, since instituted in 1935, has kept many elderly people from running below the poverty line (Hosansky). In 2015, the Social Security Administration predicted that the funds would be depleted by 2034 (Max). This poses a serious threat to the living situation of future generations when they retire. Our elderly, by today’s standards, enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. They are able to retire and still make over one thousand dollars a month. Some people also have private pensions which allow them to live even more comfortably. But with social security funds running out, we must ask the inevitable question. Is it worth having social security anymore? Social security should be kept. One must never fully rely on social security. In addition
Medicare is a national social insurance program, run by the U.S. federal government since 1966 that promises health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older and younger people with disabilities. Being the nation’s single largest health insurance program, covering a large population for a wide range of health services, Medicare's funding is a fundamental part of it sustainability. Medicare is comprised of several different parts, serving different purposes, some of which require separate funding. In general, people at the age of 65 and older who have been legal residents of the United States for at least 5 years are eligible for Medicare. Same is true with people that have disabilities under 65, if they receive Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. Medicare involves four parts: Part A is hospital insurance. Part B is additional medical insurance, that Part A doesn't cover. Part C health plans, also mostly known as Medicare Advantage, are another way for original Medicare beneficiaries to receive their Part A, B and D benefits. Medicare Part D covers many prescription drugs, some of which are covered by Part B. Medicare is a major operation, not only needing adequate administering but the necessary allocated funds to keep this massive system afloat.
If you are disabled and unable to work, you have likely considered pursuing a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim. While this government program exists to help those in need, navigating the applications and paperwork can be a headache. Even clearly valid claims can sometimes require appeals and months of waiting. For this reason, many Social Security claimants choose to seek the advice of an experienced lawyer.
What does it mean to become a social worker? Why was I committing two years of my life to school after renouncing further education? I asked myself this after I applied, waited anxiously for my acceptance letter and scrambled to figure out the finances after I was accepted. I could not have guessed that the first day of the Micro Human Behavior Social Environment (SWG 510) would capture my attention and thrust me into the professional world of Social Work. As I learned more about what it meant to become a social worker, I found myself aligning to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Ethical Standards as reviewed through Foundation Course I’s first chapters.
Every Wednesday, a retired thirty-year-old deep-sea diver, one of the many amazing people I have met at EvCC and a fine teammate in rowing, would force me to run a few miles along the paths by Langus Park after crew practice. Along the side of the trial were mile markers, not ostentatious nor neglected, merely displayed clearly as to show one how far he or she had gone... they never told us how much further we had to go.

I would love to bring my passion, my enthusiasm, and my tremendous work ethic to your organization.
Recently, Marilyn Wehr has taken over as the director for this program. She is the only person who works in this program and is the person to talk to about gaining services. The DSS helps students who are disabled in their career as a student. Although the service varies case by case, many disabilities would allow for extra time.
I am retired, so I cannot really say for current job. As for my last job I felt my DISC type worked well in the military environment. It provided stability and predictability for me, I had an understanding of everything that was expected of me. When there were change After reviewing my NBI profile and having a chance to discuss it, the question that were ask are how does your NBI profile fit with your current job? What are the strengths and limits of your current approach? When you communicate with others, what preferences do you rely on the most? How do you "show up" in social settings? What areas might you need to focus on to be more effective in your communication? What are two areas that come to mind that would increase your effectiveness?
Overall, there are very few fatal attacks on scuba divers. I have not been able to find any over the last twenty years except for one in 1991 and two in 1993. Ironically these were both in the same month. They were all by Great White sharks.
To have a good career you would have to have gone to college somewhat and know what you’re talking about. Ashley Simmons says “Classes in college are really just core classes like English, history, biology, etc. Although for aquatic biology you need to take biology because without it, it would be pointless. Some classes are essential like math, science, engineering, and physics” (Simmons). The requirements in studying to be an aquatic biologist are very simple. There are not too many, but obviously you do need some requirements because you need experience and you have to have standards. Diving is one of these requirements. “In studying to be an aquatic biologist you have to actually get in the water so lots of dives are required. Most are freshwater, but some may be saltwater just for overall experience.” (Simmons)...
