Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Introduction
The diving community has a unique capability and therefore responsibility in observing and reporting
on the condition of the aquatic environment. This document elaborates on how the recreational
diving community can make use of this capability while ensuring that full consideration is given to
environmentally sustainable interaction with the aquatic environment. It provides guidance on how
divers can positively affect the aquatic environment through activities such as underwater cleanups
and aquatic surveys.
In diver training and diving activities divers must have an awareness of their environmental impact.
This should include actively minimising any negative aspects, both potential and actual. Such training
should encourage awareness of positive actions.
This document is intended to benefit the following stakeholders:
— divers and snorkellers;
— diving instructors and guides;
— dive centres, schools or clubs;
— dive boat operators;
— diver training organisations;
— tour operators offering diving holidays;
— governmental and other bodies seeking information on diving and the aquatic environment.
