SAA clubs train new members themselves. The SAA lays down a set of guidelines and standards, which the clubs follow in training and certifying their members. Many people who join us from other organisations may have varying styles of tuition but as long as their training is in line with our standards their programme will be accepted by the SAA.

All diving qualifications are at the discretion of the Diving Officer. This means that the Diving Officer has a lot of flexibility when crossing over divers who have received training with other organisations. The Diving Officer may take into account training, experience and ability.

Any individual crossing over
may be sure of a positive reception and will be provided with all the support they require to make the transition. An additional benefit of joining the SAA, is that the SAA is soon to be approved as a member of CMAS and as such will provide you with additional recognition anywhere in the world.
