Once again my problems with expresion in english, dying is of course 
allowed, but if you want to diving, you have to be certified diver. All 
exercises and test subjects have been writen in law. For example ther are 
three degrees (CMAS system) 3'rd D allow you to dive up to 30m IN GROUP 
WITH INSTRUCTOR ONLY, 2'nd D (I have this certificat) allows me to dive 
up to 10m in group without instructor and up to 40m with him, 1'st D 
allows to dive up to 60m (without instructor). Fortunatly police usually  
doesn't know about this rules :-)
By the way, about 30 dives, and one year waiting between every degree is 
wanted (by law of course).
The only one effect of this system is that majority of "divers" just buy 
equipment (usually it's not the best choice) and dive realy without any 
expirience and basic knowlege of the metter. I think that now you really 
understand what's I mean.

Thanks Piotr
