Courses

Various types of training are offered by ANMP, through three separate courses:
ANMP also offers seven specialties leading to certification: Snorkeling, underwater life, Night diving, Underwater Photo-Video, wreck or cave penetration, dry suit, and ice diving.
Since the reform of the Code of Sport in 2010, along with certification levels 1 to 4, ANMP offers 8 qualifications for diving skills for depths up to 12, 20, 40 and 60 meters.
These qualifications allow divers access to greater depths accompanied by an instructor if they are not interested in qualifying for autonomous diving to these depths, or to progress more rapidly to autonomous diving without necessarily being trained and experienced to the deepest dives.
