    This document outlines an agreement between C.M.A.S. and PADI to allow divers certified under one organization to transition to the other's certification levels without repeating training by assessing their skills and experience. It aims to not penalize divers following one certification path and allow them to move between the two organizations. The agreement concerns divers, not instructors, and provides a framework for C.M.A.S. members but not equivalence between all certifications. It specifies the certification levels C.M.A.S. and PADI divers can apply for with their existing certifications and by meeting minimum experience requirements like logged dives.

    C.M.A.S.

    / PADI Agreement
    1. Reasons
    a) Do not penalise divers following one of the two paths.
    b) Allowing divers to move from one scheme to another without loosing its experience
    c) Allowing C.M.A.S. & PADI diving centres to receive divers taking up a different scheme correctly assessing their skills
    and experience according to their level.

    2. Limits
    a) This agreement only concerns divers, not instructors
    b) This is only a framework agreement, which is.
    • C.M.A.S. suggests its members to take up this scheme but, in no case, can enforce it.
    • if a C.M.A.S. member resolves to take up part of all this agreement, it should fully implement it - no alteration
    allowed.
    c) This is not an equivalence table, allowing any divers to automatically receive a certificate issued by the other
    organisation
    d) This agreement allows

    Advanced Open Water if holding a C.M.A.S. * certificate
