Why Choose an ITDA-IHMP Course Instead of Another Diving System?

Training is delivered by experienced diving professionals, and ITDA-IHMP certification is designed for divers ranging from entry-level courses to advanced and professional levels.

ITDA-IHMP certification represents a high standard of safe diving. ITDA-IHMP Agency also belongs to the organizations covering recreational, technical and cave diving, as well as selected areas of professional and occupational diving.

UK HSE and Diving Safety Standards

In 2005, International Technical Diving Agency (ITDA-IHMP UK) Ltd was approved by UK HSE (Health and Safety Executive), the United Kingdom government authority responsible for occupational health and safety, including diving safety. ITDA-IHMP regularly updates its standards with the aim of maintaining a high level of safety, training quality and practical diving skills.

European Community and Diving

The recreational programs of the ITDA-IHMP Agency International group are expanding worldwide, including throughout the European Union, the USA and Asia. Europe represents a community of diving nations with diverse histories, traditions and diving conditions.

The ITDA-IHMP recreational training program is designed to meet the requirements of divers in the warm waters of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, as well as in the colder waters of the Baltic, North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

Europe offers a wide range of diving destinations — from the North Sea through the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and the Mediterranean to Egypt. Conditions range from almost zero visibility and low temperatures to tropical waters with visibility exceeding 30 meters.

Unlike systems developed exclusively for the United States, ITDA-IHMP adapts its training program to regional conditions, local laws and safety requirements. At the same time, it respects international ISO standards and national regulations.
