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 its instructors and divers the distinct designation of this international certification. Due to its 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
