Certification – Issuing Agency

What about other options like CMAS?

Lotte

Sure - is there a list of the appropriate qualifications somewhere? I had a quick look over the CMAS site but I don't see anything obvious.

You can find them here:

http://www.cmas.org/114-28106.php?commission=technical

Where they have listed all the standard requirements for getting a CMAS certificate, from that long list of pdf-documents I have made a list:

Wow, thanks. Let me get this all added to the next patch for you.

For now of course you can type them in manually anyway, but of course it will be good to add them as default options.

I was not able to find these Certifications in the most recent Version of MacDive.
Where can i find them? Do I have to add them manually?

Hi Nick,

There are also few other agencies :

• TDI, Technical Diving International - courses
• SDI, Scuba Diving International, the recreational part of TDI - speciality and advanced courses
• ERDI, Emergency Response Diving International, also part of TDI - courses

The common web site is http://www.tdisdi.com

NB: SDI certifies Open Water and Advanced Open Water, Rescue, Dive Master, Master Scuba Diver, etc...

from wikipedia:

• TDI
• SDI

I've added CMAS and TDI for now. Will be in the next patch.

Excellent news ! Thanks Nick

No prob - apologies for the delay, this has slipped my mind for a couple of patches now and I don't really have a good excuse!

I would cast a +1 vote for SDI certifications to be added in the future please as I'm one of those lucky students.

Thanks Nick!
