S.E.I. Who?
Scuba Educators International (S.E.I) was formed when the YMCA decided to sunset its YScuba program after 50 years of service. S.E.I. continues this tradition of excellence and quality in providing knowledge and skill-based courses for scuba divers.
S.E.I. is international in scope with instructors in many US states and in numerous countries around the world with corporate offices located in Muncie, Indiana, USA.,
S.E.I. is poised to continue growing into a strong, innovative, and dynamic international scuba education program.
CMASS.E.I. is the only US organization to offer dual certifications with CMAS through the Underwater Society of America
CMAS was founded in 1959 and is one of the world's oldest scuba diving organizations. CMAS is the premier diving program across Europe and throughout much of the world. According to CMAS its "entry-level training is more extensive, featuring more 'classroom' delivered theory and strives to produce more experienced, knowledgeable and skilled divers." S.E.I. and CMAS believe that quality education emphasising diving safety over profits is most important.
"I appreciate all the freedom that [SEI] has given to me as a professional. Since I am a school teacher (in my "real" job), being able to design my own visual aids and teach using the words that work best for me and my students is the most effective way to share this sport."
