TS EN 14153-1

TS EN 14153-1. OFFICIAL SCOPE IS UNAVAILABLE. TS EN 14153-1 is the first part of the recreational scuba training family and addresses the safety-related minimum requirements for the “Level 1 - Supervised Diver” profile. Standards of this kind are used to define what the training level is intended to mean, how supervised diving is understood, and where the safety focus of the training framework begins.

What the supervised diver level means

In general technical terms, a supervised diver is a beginner-level recreational scuba diver who participates in underwater activities under appropriate supervision rather than as an independent diver. Recreational scuba training centers on building foundational skills with equipment such as mask, fins, cylinder, regulator, and related safety gear. This level matters because it places skill development in a controlled setting and ties diving practice to planning, communication, and supervision.

General technical role of this part

This part belongs to a terminology-and-safety framework that helps distinguish training levels in recreational diving services. Such classifications support common expectations between training providers, instructors, and divers, while helping ensure that supervision matches the learner’s stage of development. From the title alone, this document clearly points to minimum safety orientation for one training level, but it does not justify adding clause-by-clause requirements, numerical limits, or detailed procedures here.

• Focuses on Level 1 in recreational scuba training.
• Centers on the concept of supervised diving.
• Connects safety expectations with training competence.
• Provides a controlled progression framework rather than independent diving practice.
