Diving
Technologies International, I
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.
New applicants for REPAIR TECHNICIAN status or higher please submit by mail:
1. Statement of training of either, 40 hr intensive program, or College semester of training, or one year of OJT under a qualified technician, include facility/s name.
2. Copy of (at least 3) manufacturers seminars attended.
3. Be a Cylinder Inspector trained by a recognized agency.
4. Admission/Registration fee of $35.00
SENIOR TECHNICIANS must attest to having at least 8 years experience as a repair technician.
MASTER TECHNICIANS must meet above criteria and have at least 18 years experience.
TOP TECH awarded to factory repair and service trainers. This recognition is awarded at no charge to current trainers.
MEMBERS status is awarded those apprentice technicians just starting out or still undergoing training, also awarded to our supporters.
REPAIR FACILITIES and INSTRUCTIONAL CENTERS *Must be sponsored by a qualified, current, technician please send short resume of facility, courses, standards and programs offered. Must include a $15 yearly fee in addition to Technician fee, a separate annual certificate of registration will be issued for the facility.
The register recognizes and supports the training provided by the various manufacturers of scuba equipment and by independent training agencies, it further requires that proof of training and competency on the individual brands be provided by the Technician for the work performed.
MEMBER BULLETIN BOARD
The IAST has been temporarily suspended due to economic reasons it is our hope to regroup and make a comeback at a time when our industry has regained momentum and the American people have recovered from the current economic crisis. It is during these harsh times when our knowledge and training as technicians is most on demand to provide quality, ethical, and safe repairs and services. Best personal regards to all and hope that we can continue what we started in the not too distant future.
Please be aware that a firm out of Hawaii has hijacked a copy of the Register, This is a fraudulent, unauthorized copyright infringement of the International Association of Scuba Technicians and the International Register.
The IAST is not collecting any moneys from it's members and will announce it's re-instatement when we are able to return. All records will be maintained for future use. The last publishing of the Register will remain for the time being as a tribute to all those who joined and made the Association possible.
All the best during these trying times, Sincerely Rudy Mola
