International Diving Educators Association

The International Diving Educators Association or (IDEA) was originally founded in 1952 as the Florida Skin Divers Association (FSDA)Scuba Training Committee, and later changed its name to the Florida Scuba Divers Association.[1] As the group's membership grew, so did desire to make the organization and international SCUBA diving certification agency. In February 1976 the FSDA Scuaba Training Committee members officially voted to create the International Diving Educators Association, based on the principles of the original FSDA.
