Boston University Diving Manual:

The Boston University Diving Manual is based on the standards set forth by the American Academy of Underwater Scientists’ “Standards for Scientific Diving Certification and Operation of Scientific Diving Programs”. As a consensual guideline for scientific diving programs, this document is currently the “Standard” of the scientific diving community. Followed by all AAUS Organizational members, these standards allow for reciprocity between institutions, and are widely used throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. Peer reviewed within the AAUS on a regular basis, they represent the consensus of the scientific diving community and state-of-the-art technologies
