Mission

We develop sub-aquatic sports champions and coaches, provide opportunities for scuba professionals to excel in related sporting and technical activities, consult on safe diving operations and practices, and raise awareness and appreciation of Singapore’s natural heritage.

We achieve this through programs for:

SUB-AQUATIC SPORTS To raise the profile of snorkeling, skin diving, scuba diving, fin swimming and underwater hockey as sports instructed by accredited professionals, and to identify and nurture international sports champions through development and support of their capabilities.

To adequately prepare the scuba instructor candidate to effectively coach and certify both scuba divers and sub-aquatic sport athletes to the various levels designed.

TECHNICAL METHODS & PROCEDURES To recommend safe national operational procedures which are aligned with international training standards and procedures. To consult on safe practices for recreational, sport and scientific diving.

To develop and recognize skills sets of the dive professionals.

SCIENTIFIC AWARENESS To help improve scientific understanding of what our natural ecosystems provide to humans, and seek to ensure this knowledge is used in practical ways by bringing together scientists, policy makers, business leader and NGOs to impact the way Singaporeans value and use nature.
