    ALL of them..... have been awarded 3* equivalency

    CMAS (Confédération Mondiale des Activitiés Subaquatiques (World Confederation of Underwater Activities))

    With respect................... anyone can get a card printed GUE is reasonably new there is no question of that and thats why I am asking the questions. In some respects as far as business goes Gue/DIR maybe something we would look at.

    Diving: List of approved qualifications
    thats interesting - you could be PADI Open water qualified with 10 or so dives, take fundies and then have the CMAS 3* equivalency of a PADI DM or BSAC Advanced Diver.

    I dont think that has been thought though properly..


    edit: ah but no..

    "9. The above list is not a comparison of qualifications from one agency/organisation to another. Neither does it automatically grant any rights to persons wishing to use their current qualification to gain a qualification with another agency/organisation. Crossover requirements are entirely at the discretion of the agency/organisation to which the person is applying."

    so what's the point?

    I know many don't like cross-posting from DIRExplorers.com but I don't know why they read this part of YD so I'll post anyway

    The question of GUE's role came up there a little while ago and JJ, himself, explained the role of GUE as being so much more than just a Training Agency.

    If you are genuinely interested it makes for a good read IMO.

    The HSE table of equivalencies relates to the Diving at Work regulations.

    Within the regs, there are certain 'tasks' which can only be undertaken by divers with appropriate qualifications. To save the HSE listing all the different agencies qualifications each time a task is listed, they gave them an equivalency to CMAS.

    For example, a dive team must consist of at least 3 people.

    1) The Instructor, who (afiui) needs to be at CMAS3* equivalency
    2) A Safety Diver, who (afiui) needs to be at CMAS2* equivalency
    3) Shore cover - who only needs to be capable of raising the alarm.

    For a PADI course, the safety diver (usually referred to as DM) needs to be at least rescue diver. It isn't necessary for them to be a qualified DM - they can be a DMT (Divemaster Trainee).

    so what's the point?
    Is GUE Fundamentals a qualification ?
