Scuba Diving

Sources Disagree

One date is published two different ways

Both published versions are shown with the page each came from. The paper does not pick between them — the governing body settles it.

Not Yet Confirmed

6 parts of the Scuba Diving year are still unsourced

These are gaps, not blanks. Each names what is missing and who would confirm it. Nothing is estimated to fill the shape of the table above.

Season window

An authoritative statement of CMAS's competitive season structure as a whole (CMAS publishes discipline calendars rather than a season definition) — CMAS would confirm. CMAS finswimming calendar · CMAS freediving calendar

Elite calendar (2027)

2027 CMAS finswimming and freediving world-championship hosts and dates (CMAS's calendars covered 2026 with only scattered 2027 entries) — CMAS would confirm. CMAS events

Olympic and major games

Underwater sports' inclusion at the next World Games edition and at the Asian Games and Youth Olympic Games — CMAS and the International World Games Association would confirm. LA28 Games Plan · CMAS About

High school season

Whether any state association sanctions scuba as an activity, and junior-certification age minimums — the NFHS and PADI/SSI would confirm. NFHS Activities & Sports

College season

Which body runs US collegiate club underwater hockey and finswimming — the Underwater Society of America and CMAS's US member federation would confirm. CMAS finswimming calendar

Results and news sources

AIDA International's own results and records URL and the Underwater Society of America's US results page; neither was fetched in this session — AIDA International and the Underwater Society of America would confirm. CMAS events · Sportalsub

Around The Season

High school

Not an NFHS sport; neither scuba nor any underwater sport appears among NFHS-sanctioned activities. High-school-age participation happens through dive shops, clubs and junior certification courses rather than a school season. NFHS Activities & Sports

College

Not an NCAA sport and not on the NCAA emerging-sports list. University-level competition exists internationally through FISU; the 2026 FISU World University Championship in finswimming is at Sharm El-Sheikh, 26-30 October 2026. NCAA Future Dates Summary

Olympic and major games

Not on the LA28 Olympic or Paralympic programme. CMAS is an IOC-recognised federation, recognised in 1986, and a member of the International World Games Association, so underwater sports appear at the World Games rather than the Olympics. Finswimming is contested at the Mediterranean Games, Taranto 2026 on 25-29 August, and at FISU World University Championships. LA28 Games Plan

Club, youth and academy

CMAS runs explicit age-group, junior, youth and masters championships alongside the senior calendar, including the youth finswimming World Cup in Izmir in early July 2026, the European Junior Championship in Chios in June 2026, the Asian Junior Championship in Nantong in September 2026, SEA Wave Juniors rounds in Phuket in April and November 2026, the Masters World Championship in Sharm El-Sheikh in April 2026 and an age-group underwater hockey World Championship in Turkiye in July 2026. National open events fill the gaps. On the recreational side there is no tryout or camp cycle: entry is via paid certification courses at affiliated centres, with entry-level courses capping at 18 m. Trade shows anchor the industry calendar, such as Diving Talks in Lisbon in late October 2026.

Where results come from

CMAS eventsCMAS finswimming calendarCMAS freediving calendarSportalsub.netCMAS archive

Results data · Published but human-readable only. CMAS publishes complete per-discipline calendars, event pages with dates and venues, and podium and results posts on its own site, but as content-management pages and social posts rather than a structured feed, with an older parallel archive still online and occasional internal date conflicts. The most usable consolidated view of the whole sport is a specialist third-party site, not the federation. Recreational scuba has no results data at all - nothing to publish, since it is not competitive.
