Today PADI issues approximately 950,000 certifications a year, of which approximately 550,000 are "entry level" certifications.

The Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS) is the World Underwater Federation. CMAS is the international umbrella organization for diver training organizations. It was founded in Brussels on September 28, 1958. Its courses tend to reflect full range of European and world diving standards. Compared to other dive organizations, which may be more geared towards holiday and tropical water diving, the training philosophy of CMAS members' clubs originates from professional or military diving backgrounds; CMAS is entirely about quality education over profit, which accounts for its programs being taught worldwide in more dive schools than dive shops. While other organizations tend to bring divers into the water immediately, CMAS training is more complete and produces more knowledgeable and skilled divers |
