Harmonized Standards for Europe: Quality and Structure
CEDIP’s training guidelines are consistently based on the currently applicable international standards and directives for the diving industry.
Our core mission as an umbrella organization is to analyze the various country-specific regulations and legal requirements of European nations and combine them into an overarching, harmonized training structure. These common framework standards are seamlessly integrated by our member associations into their own national curricula.
The result is a European-wide comparable, transparent, and legally secure diver training at the highest level, which respects the regional characteristics of individual countries while simultaneously guaranteeing maximum quality.
