To learn the art of underwater diving it is necessary to finish the diving training courses. At the end of the training course, no matter what form or length it is (it can be a full program, consisting of theory, practice in the swimming pool and in the open water or a trial introductory scuba diving lesson), a diver receives a certificate. We would like to point out the peculiarities of diving certification in the following material.
A little history
Diving appeared in Russia in 1995 and at this time first training centers and notion of certification came along. Certificate of aqualunger that were given in USSR are no longer valid. Today there is a large number of diving centers where one can go through diving training of any kind – from Discover scuba diving to full practical-theoretical course.
Where to learn and get certified?
Nowadays there are more than 20 established certificatory organizations in the world, whose certificates theoretically are accepted all over the world. In fact things can be a little different – your certificate may or may not be accepted in other countries and it cannot be foreseen. Sure enough, training in well-known diving centers is always the right choice because they are world-renowned and famous as Oxford or Harvard.
All diving centers belong to somebody and work by their own rules. That is exactly why no one can guarantee that your certification will be 100 % accepted it is better to be ready for that. By the way people who have a plunger or military training cannot do recreational diving without preparatory training. Scuba diving is totally different it has its own peculiarities.
