TS EN 14413-2

TS EN 14413-2 addresses the safety-related minimum preparation for scuba instructor Level 2 qualification in recreational diving. The standard focuses on the competencies an instructor candidate must demonstrate so that a training organization can issue certification showing achievement of, or performance beyond, Level 2, together with the assessment of those competencies.

In practical terms, an instructor standard of this kind is about more than dive skill alone. It connects technical diving knowledge with teaching ability, supervision, risk awareness, and the consistent transfer of safe practice. In recreational scuba training, that distinction matters because instruction takes place in an environment where planning, control, and appropriate equipment use are central to keeping training organised and predictable.

Training conditions and certification context

The standard applies only to contractual training and certification in recreational scuba diving. It also specifies the conditions under which training ought to be provided, in addition to the general requirements for recreational diving service provision given in EN 14467. In other words, it adds an instructor-qualification layer to the broader service framework rather than replacing the general operational rules for dive services.

• Assessment of competencies for scuba instructor Level 2
• Conditions under which training ought to be provided
• Application limited to contractual training and certification in recreational scuba diving
• Additional training conditions alongside the general requirements of EN 14467
