Diving Education Society (DES) incorporates these ISO standards as the foundation of its training system to ensure the highest level of safety and quality in training:

 

Divers

 

ISO 24801-1: Supervised Diver – DES provides basic training that teaches breathing, buoyancy, and fundamental safety under the supervision of an instructor.

 

ISO 24801-2: Autonomous Diver – DES offers training that prepares divers for independent dives, focusing on navigation, buoyancy control, and emergency management.

 

ISO 24801-3: Dive Leader – DES trains advanced divers to lead groups, plan dives, and ensure safety.
