The International Register was
established in 1996 by the International Association of Scuba Technicians
in close cooperation with its members, the diving equipment manufacturers, and
dive industry experts. It is designed to recognize the Scuba Technician as
a qualified professional that has met a standard of proficiency.
Although, these are not the only
qualified scuba technicians, these are among the first to be certified within
the scuba industry. Providing safe and efficient service on underwater
life support systems with knowledge of multiple manufacturer's products.
The Register requires that
technicians provide proof of their training and have met the requirements for
their level of recognition.
To obtain this recognition, it is necessary for the scuba technician to have participated in an equipment program, a cylinder inspection program - provided by a recognized authority, and has attended the manufacturer’s training that covers the equipment to be serviced.
