As a member of CEDIP, we are committed to the highest standards in training, ethics, and environmental protection. This code serves as the common foundation for our actions across all borders.
1. Safety as the Highest Priority
Safety is never a compromise; it is our foundation. We commit ourselves not only to complying with current safety standards but also to actively promoting them through continuous further education and preventive risk management. The well-being of our divers comes first on every single dive.
2. Ecological Responsibility & Aquatic Protection
We view ourselves as ambassadors of the underwater world.
-
Minimal Impact: We teach and practice diving techniques that protect flora and fauna (e.g., perfect buoyancy control).
-
Respect: We respect the aquatic habitat and promote the protection of biodiversity in both our local and international waters.
-
Setting an Example: We leave no waste behind and foster ecological awareness in our students.
3. Professionalism and Integrity
CEDIP stands for excellence in teaching. Our instructors always act with honesty, respect, and in accordance with the latest educational insights. We foster a culture of trust and mutual support among the European member associations.
4. Sustainable Action
For us, sustainability also means longevity. We promote diving practices and association structures that are designed for the long term—ecologically, socially, and economically. We support local structures and preserve the tradition of diving for future generations.
5. European Community
We live the European ideal. We promote the exchange of knowledge and techniques between nations and advocate for the cross-border recognition of qualifications to make diving in Europe safe and accessible for everyone.
Our Promise: We dive mindfully, teach with passion, and protect with conviction.
