Diver training in the USA
IMCA also recognises ACDE certificates issued by US training schools which are accredited by the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE) in respect of training/a****sment performed in accordance with US Standard ANSI/ACDE-01-1993 and its successor standard ANSI/ACDE-01-1998. These schools are independently audited and certificates from them can be accepted as showing suitable basic training. Subsequent diving experience needs to be demonstrated by logbook entries. A list of currently accredited schools can be found at www.acde.us
