AUSI is Associated Underwater Scuba Instructors
SSI is Scuba Schools International
These are very different organisations with a common purpose.
I guess the main difference is that AUSI runs an Open License system which is available for anyone to see on the web. Also, instructors are not charged to be AUSI Instructors.
Copied from a previous thread (sorry it sounds like an advert - but I am trying to answer your question)
AUSI looks after people first. Trainee diver's interests are paramount, so we concentrate of safety. However we also concentrate on looking after our instructors and facilities. We are unique in that we do not charge our professionals to do business with us. Its FREE. In the current tight economic climate, can you afford not to use AUSI?
AUSI's Open Licence System offers free visitor access to the AUSI Snorkel and Scuba Training Systems. Registered instructors and other diving professionals are eligible for free on-line cross overs as well as access to AUSI teaching support products. AUSI is an Accredited Training Agency for Snorkel and Scuba.
The AUSI unique open licence approach is a dynamic ever-evolving system that not only welcomes input from its users but acts on it to improve the system.

* Free access to all AUSI teaching materials, including Student Course Notes and instructor presentations, via our web site
