CMAS two-star scuba diver (also known as CMAS ** diver, or just CMAS **) is a diving certification for recreational scuba diving issued by the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS).

It enables divers to undertake dives to a maximum depth of 20 meters, accompanied by other CMAS** divers, with no dive leader. [1]

Principle

Equivalent certifications

The Confédération mondiale des activités subaquatiques (world underwater federation) was created in 1959 to bring consistency between different national diving certification systems.

As a result, the CMAS two-star diver certification is usually delivered as an equivalence to a national two-star diver certification delivered through a federation affiliated to the CMAS Technical Committee.[2][3][4].
