Title (German)

Dienstleistungen des Freizeittauchens - Anforderungen an Dienstleister des Freizeittauchens (ISO 24803:2017); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 24803:2017

Overview

Standardization is important for recreational activities, such as diving, for which training and experience are essential for the participants to be able to carry out the activity safely. Although recreational diving is potentially hazardous, the risks to the participants and to the natural and cultural resources of the dive sites can easily be reduced to acceptable levels by the adoption of appropriate precautions. Additionally, impacts to the marine environment, particularly fragile marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, can be reduced through proper education and training of scuba instructors, dive leaders and divers. The document specifies requirements for service providers in the field of recreational scuba diving and snorkelling excursions. It specifies the following areas of service provision: - introductory diving activities; - snorkelling excursions; - provision of training and education; - organized and guided diving for qualified divers; - rental of diving and snorkelling equipment. Service providers can offer one or more of these services. This document specifies the nature and quality of the services to the client. This document does not apply to freediving (also called "apnea diving"). This document (EN ISO 24803:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 228 "Tourism and related services" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 329 "Tourism services", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. The responsible national committee is Working Committee NA 159-02-01 AA "Tourismus-Dienstleistungen" ("Tourism Services") at DIN Standards Committee Services (NADL).
