What is you're experience with this and I was wondering if you plan to do a Protec CMAS cross over course to enable some of us non-CMAS qualified divers to dive happily in France in the future

yo

As I understand the issue doing a cross over program to CMAS is not the issue even. If your training and certification has been through IANTD then you are part of CMAS. I was just looking at the new redone CMAS web page and could actually not find the listing.

The way I heard it is that even if you hold a CMAS training c-card, which has been earned outside France, is not enough to let you dive inside France, on a French vessel, to that level level of training because you have not done the training under French Federation rules with a French Federation instructor.

I was told that by some French Federation instructors and would like to take the oprtunity her on Rebreather World to learnd more about it.

.... maybe we should start a new thread with this ...
