Here's SSI's requirements for "Dive Con", which sounds like Divemaster to me. I'm not familiar enough with SSI to know for sure, though.
Anyway, candidates start with 40...an improvement, yes? ... but graduate with the same magic number as PADI and NAUI: 60 dives.
Course Details
Prerequisites
Before applying to the DiveCon Training program, candidates must meet the following:
have an Advanced Open Water Diver certification
have a Diver Stress and Rescue certification
have logged 40 or more dives
have personal scuba diving equipment
be at least 18 years old
have a current medical exam for diving signed by a physician
Requirements
By the end of the program, candidates must have current training in CPR and First Aid and logged 60 dives or more.
