TS EN ISO 24802-2

TS EN ISO 24802-2 is the standard that sets out requirements for the training of scuba instructors in recreational diving services, covering the Level 2 instructor profile. Standards of this kind are intended to support consistent, structured training so that an instructor is not only a competent diver, but also capable of teaching safely and coherently.

What scuba instructor training means in practice

Scuba instruction combines diving skill with teaching ability, risk awareness, equipment handling and student supervision. Training rules for instructors usually focus on developing the candidate’s competence in underwater communication, control, demonstration and practical teaching. The Level 2 distinction helps separate different responsibility levels within instructor qualification pathways, so that more basic and more advanced teaching roles are clearly differentiated.

What this standard covers

According to the scope provided, this standard covers rules for training scuba instructors for recreational diving services. In other words, the emphasis is on preparing the instructor candidate rather than on the act of diving itself. In general technical terms, that links to course structure, skill demonstration, student supervision and the organisation of teaching in a diving environment; however, the specific course content or assessment steps required by the standard can only be confirmed from the official text.

This document sits within a broader professional competence framework for recreational diving. Its value lies in helping define shared terminology and a level-based approach to instructor training, which is important for training organisations and service providers working with recreational dive education.
