Description

The goals of the CMAS Standards for Scientific Diving are:-
a) to assure the mobility of fully trained scientific divers,
b) to enable specialist courses and optional training, above the minimum, to be developed on a CMAS basis so as to provide a more effective use of self contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving techniques in science.
There are two different levels of standard, both of which are professional.
a) the CMAS Scientific Diver. (CSD).
b) the CMAS Advanced Scientific Diver. (CASD).

Notes

This text only concerns volunteer amateur divers who can participate in underwater scientific activities. There are other standards for occupational scientific diving by professional scientists (technicians, engineers, researchers, teachers and under certain conditions and in some countries only, graduate students, PhD students and post-Doc)
