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
This part of ISO 24801 is one of a series of International Standards relating to recreational diving services,
which have been prepared with the aim of establishing a set of specifications for safety practices and the
provision of services.
These International Standards specify:
— necessary levels of experience and competency of scuba divers and scuba instructors;
— safety practices and requirements for recreational scuba diving service providers appropriate to
the different diving levels.
The requirements specified are minimal; they do not preclude the provision of additional training or the
evaluation of additional competencies by a service provider. These International Standards represent
a tool for comparison of existing (or future) qualifications of scuba divers. They do not represent a
course programme, nor do they imply that course programmes and scuba diver qualifications issued by
different nations or training organizations are required to correspond to these levels.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 24801 specifies the competencies required of a scuba diver in order to obtain a scuba
diver qualification from a training organization attesting that he/she has met or exceeded scuba diver
level 2 (“Autonomous diver”), and specifies evaluation criteria for these competencies.
It also specifies the conditions under which training is provided, in addition to the general requirements
for recreational diving service provision in accordance with ISO 24803.
This part of ISO 24801 applies to training and evaluation in recreational scuba diving.

3.2
scuba instructor
individual qualified in accordance with ISO 24802-1 or ISO 24802-2
3.3
dive leader
individual qualified in accordance with ISO 24801-3
3.4
breathing gas
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen with no less than 20 % oxygen
3.5
confined water
swimming pool with a depth appropriate to the activity or body of water, offering similar conditions
with regard to visibility, depth, water movement and access
3.6
open water
body of water significantly larger than a swimming pool, offering conditions typical of a natural body
of water
3.7
diving equipment
equipment consisting of fins, mask, snorkel, regulator, alternative breathing gas system, cylinder,
cylinder-support-system, buoyancy compensator, a quick release weight system (if appropriate),
submersible pressure gauge (breathing gas pressure monitor), means to measure depth and time and to
safely limit exposure to inert gas, diving suit (if appropriate)
Note 1 to entry: An alternative breathing gas system could range from a simple octopus system to a duplicate
breathing system with a separate breathing gas supply.

knife/cutting device, delayed surface marker buoy).
3.8
direct supervision
supervision of a group of divers by a scuba instructor or a dive leader who is in a position that allows
rapid intervention on behalf of the divers
4 Competencies of a recreational scuba diver at level 2 (“Autonomous diver”)
Scuba divers at level 2 shall be trained such that when evaluated in accordance with Clause 10 they are
deemed to have sufficient knowledge, skill and experience to dive with other scuba divers of at least the
same level in open water without supervision of a scuba instructor.
Scuba divers at level 2 are qualified to dive within the following parameters unless they have additional
training or are accompanied by a dive leader:
— dive to a recommended maximum depth of 20 m with other scuba divers of the same level;
— make dives, which do not require in-water decompression stops;
— dive only when appropriate support (e.g. first aid kit, a dive leader, support vessel; as appropriate to
the dive site and the divers’ experience) is available at the surface;
— dive under conditions that are equal or better than the conditions where they were trained.
If diving conditions are significantly different from those previously experienced, a scuba diver at level
2 requires an appropriate orientation from a dive leader.

Where further instruction is required this may only be provided by a suitably qualified scuba instructor
of level 2. If accompanied by a scuba instructor, a scuba diver at level 2 may gain progressive experience
beyond these parameters and develop competency in managing more challenging diving conditions
(e.g. increased depth and current, reduced visibility, extreme temperatures) designed to lead to higher
qualifications.
