* ‘See also’ section - delete links to [[Scuba diving]], [[Snorkelling]] and [[Underwater hockey]] as links to these pages already exist in the body of the page. Delete link to [[History of swimming]] page as there appears to be no content of relevance on that to CMAS.

* Arrange the sections for Sport Committee, Technical Committee and Scientific Committee in order of seniority. [[User:Cowdy001|Cowdy001]] ([[User talk:Cowdy001|talk]]) 04:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

== Neutrality of Technical committee section ==

The section of technical committee used to imply that CMAS is the governing body of all recreational diving activity in the world and it is superior to any other taring agency(which is clearly drafted by a CMAS diver or instructor), the pov tag was completely fair. i am a technical cave diver and i have dozens of certifications including CMAS certificates.i edited that section in the way which i think completely fair and i refrenced it to CMAS and non CMAS systems course syllables, and i think any body who knows a few things about science and skills in diving agrees with me but it is always edited back clealrly by some users biased toward CMAS.

Members of the CMAS Technical Committee are representatives of affiliated national diving federations that guarantee the CMAS standards are upheld within the constraints of local diving conditions. These organisations award CMAS qualification cards which have the appropriate CMAS grade on one side and details of the relevant national organisation and the person they have qualified on the other.

Since CMAS effectively started as a volunteer organisation for hobbyists, its courses tend to reflect the full range of European and world diving standards. Compared to other diving organisations which may be more geared towards holiday and tropical water diving. While organisations like PADI or SSI tend to bring divers into the water immediately, CMAS entry-level training is more extensive, featuring more "classroom" delivered theory.[11]

On the other hand systems like PADI and SSI recreational(nontechnical) diver program is specially designed to avoid any kind of accident and safety complications but there are a few practices by CMAS guidelines that are considered highly unsafe by the diving community including: 1.teaching and doing decompression dives in nontechnical diving gear without having proper knowledge of decompression models and limits of of navy tables that are used by CMAS, not teaching diving skills necessary for decompression diving and teaching decompression diving to their beginners program(one star). [11] 2.no emphasize at all on skills such as bouncy control which is vital to safe diving.[11] 3.allowing air dives to 55m in recreational diving gear(nontechnical) and while CNS toxicity is a major risk in such dives there is no word of CNS toxicity calculation and consideration in their diver training program.[11]
