Several
organizations have reciprocity with NDP at the working or scientific
diver levels. All reciprocity agreements are for one year and
vary in content between organizations. The procedures for participating
reciprocity divers are outlined in the NOAA Diving Regulations,
section 5.0, g. and needs no further clarification. A listing
of organizations that have reciprocity with NDP is included in
this section.
NOAA
diving supervisors originate requested from non-NOAA organizations
for reciprocity to the Director, NOAA Diving Program (DNDP). Reciprocity
is granted to organizations based on NOAA Diving Program regulations,
operational procedures and training standards. A checklist was
developed to assist NOAA diving supervisors when reviewing request
for reciprocity. NOAA diving standards are listed for comparison
with non-NOAA organizations. Reciprocity request should only be
forwarded to the DNDP when all NOAA criteria are meet by the requesting
organization.
