ANMP is a founding member of CEDIP (European Committee of Professional Diving Instructors) and a union member of the National Union of Autonomous Unions (UNSA).

ANMP instructors are state certified instructors.

Courses

Various types of training are offered by ANMP,[2] through three separate courses:

  • Scuba diving: accessible to all from age 12 years;
  • Junior diving:[3] the Junior diver programme allows the child to progress at their own pace regardless of their age;
  • Mixed gas diving:[4] ANMP created their own progression: through nitrox, advanced nitrox, basic trimix, trimix and rebreather.

ANMP also offers seven specialties leading to certification: Snorkeling, underwater life (biology), Night diving, Underwater Photo-Video, wreck or cave penetration, dry suit, and ice diving.[5]

Since the reform of the Code of Sport in 2010, along with certification levels 1 to 4, ANMP offers 8 qualifications for diving skills for depths up to 12, 20, 40 and 60 meters.[5]

These qualifications allow divers access to greater depths accompanied by an instructor if they are not interested in qualifying for autonomous diving to these depths, or to progress more rapidly to autonomous diving without necessarily being trained and experienced to the deepest dives.

"Guide to the Sea"

The title of "Guide to the Sea", created by Daniel Mercier, founder president of the ANMP, recognizes knowledge and experience of members with particular reference to.

  • the quality of care for customers,
  • respect for the underwater environment,
  • all aspects relating to health and safety
  • maintaining their professional skills.

gollark: I believe it's the original meaning.
gollark: Yes, and this meaning must be ERASED.
gollark: You could say "this is getting exponentially faster" if it's... actually increasing in speed exponentially, but it's silly to say it if it's just... a lot faster.
gollark: "Exponentially more" does NOT just mean "a lot more".
gollark: I should add a function for that to my bot.
