Abstract:
The article describes and compares various methods of obtaining basic diving licences on the example of CMAS international diving confederations, the SSI diving school system and two American diving associations, NAUI and PADI. According to Divers Alert Network Europe, 189 fatalities related to diving occurred in 2018, most of which may have been prevented by sufficient training. The article describes what prerequisites must be met in order to obtain the basic qualifications to practice recreational diving in each of the above-mentioned diving organisations. Therefore, the article compares various training processes for a recreational scuba diver implemented in four selected organisations.
