I am a Padi MSDT and have been thinking of doing a Cross over ,

But it is the same the Other way once you are a Certain level you can just do a Cross over easily , just go to local Padi Shop and talk to Course director and can do in 1/2 days . The Liability Insurance will be the other problem , SSI are in the dive center where padi Instructors pay for them Self. so you would have to get your Own Liability + insurance Easy as long as you Pay ( australia is aprox $400 per year for Liability and medical)

If you only were guiding then a Cross over probably not necessary but most shops will try and sell it to you . Most Training agencys are almost exactly the same now (bsac,Naui,Padi,ssi,cmas,etc) -you can cross from one to other easy just they all want money and yearly fees

Hope that Helps Mark
