Welcome to the CMAS AMERICAS Website.
CMAS is the acronym for Confédération
Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques aka in English as “The
World Underwater Federation”.
CMAS is the world’s first international
diver training organization and was founded January 1959 in Monaco by a
confederation of fifteen countries to establish an international diver-training
standard. Organized under the direction of Jacques-Yves Cousteau the co-founder
of the “Aqualung” and father of the modern sport of scuba diving
CMAS has grown to a membership of over one hundred countries. CMAS is headquartered
within the International Olympic Committee building in Rome Italy. CMAS
AMERICAS' courses are offered by CMAS Instructors, meet CMAS standards
and as such are recognized worldwide.
CMAS AMERICAS Mission
Our mission is to develop and promote CMAS diving programs in the
US, English Canada, Central America and the Caribbean. CMAS programs are
based on a system teaching and mentoring that when combined produce divers
who are superior in knowledge, skills and abilities. As a result of this
comprehensive training, CMAS divers are not only safe and competent in
the water, but also more appreciative of the marine environment.
