CMAS Americas Services

SERVICES

CMAS AMERICAS is the newest Federation of the World Underwater Federation and was formed to provide a new approach to representing CMAS in North America and the Caribbean. Historically CMAS cards have been issued through other agencies and this has been in a sort of "piggy back" manner where students never really were exposed to CMAS or to CMAS training. CMAS AMERICAS is going to change all that by developing new Instructors who are dedicated to CMAS and to it's training standards.

CMAS AMERICAS will offer Instructor Training Courses throughout this region and will also offer a limited number of Instructor Crossover Courses. Instructors certified by other agencies who meet the criteria required to become a CMAS Instructor are invited to join us.

CMAS certification cards will be issued from the CMAS AMERICAS office here rather than issued from CMAS HQ in Italy. This will decrease the processing time tremendously and will provide CMAS AMERICAS Instructors, Dive Centers and Dive School the opportunity to offer true CMAS Courses.

The cards will have the Instructor's name and number on the reverse side as well as the Diver's name, certification number and picture. The dive center or dive schools name will also appear as appropriate.
