HSE's CMAS equivalence table

Recreational qualifications are acceptable for some specific classes of diving. These are CMAS (Confédération Mondiale des Activitiés Subaquatiques (World Confederation of Underwater Activities)) qualifications or their equivalent where a particular Recreational Agency/Organisation is not a CMAS member.

HSE has produced a table of equivalencies. Only CMAS 2*, and 3* equivalences are listed as only these are quoted in the list of approved diving qualifications. Qualifications within a particular agency/organisation that are higher than those listed are therefore acceptable.

The above list is not a comparison of qualifications from one agency/organisation to another.

Crossover requirements are entirely at the discretion of the agency/organisation to which the person is applying.
