CMAS Courses

CMAS courses are available upon request or you may, by equivalency, acquire a CMAS rating by completing any level YSCUBA program.

C.M.A.S. international certification card

In 1980 YMCA SCUBA became a federation of the World Underwater Federation (C.M.A.S.), thus allowing our instructors and divers the distinct designation of this international certification. Due to our high standards, YMCA SCUBA remains the only SCUBA certification organization in the United States to offer the C.M.A.S. international certification card.

C.M.A.S. (Confederation Mondiale Des Activities Subaquatiques) is the only world diving organization. This organization is composed of some 14,000 diving clubs, 82 national federations and 4.5 million divers.

C.M.A.S. international certifications cards are issued by equivalence in 82 countries and at all levels, for both divers and instructors. The certification notes the following benefits:
* Global acceptance and international recognition
* Allowance to dive in countries where authorization is needed
* Ability to rent equipment and refill cylinders abroad
* Ease in joining international diving groups

In order to receive your C.M.A.S. international certification card or instructor certification, please submit the following:

1. Your name and current address
2. A copy of your present YMCA SCUBA certification card (front and back)
3. $25 payable to YMCA of the USA or by credit card authorization

Note: I can do this for you at the time of certification. (You will receive both the YSCUBA and CMAS cards together)
