給潛水中心：讓人選擇你的理由
Mindful Diving™ 不與你的認證機構競爭。這項國際標準延伸你原本就做得好的事，讓它看得見、可衡量，也難以複製。
你早已熟悉的四個問題
你以價格與地點便利性競爭
海灣裡每家潛水中心都教同一套課綱。若沒有獨特的課程與服務，能競爭的就只剩折扣與地點。
持證潛水員不再回來
完成開放水域與進階課程後，後續的學習路徑逐漸稀少。一項持續的練習，而非另一張證照，能給潛水員不斷回來的理由。
你的教練正陷入職業倦怠
人員流動的代價高昂，卻不會顯現在資產負債表上。Instructor Wellbeing 是標準的支柱之一，不是事後才補上的考量。
你為海洋付出的努力，未被看見
清理、調查與復育工作，往往不在顧客看得見的地方。影響紀錄讓這些行動有據可查。
水之藝廊
一枚標章，兩種狀態
一套標準，七大支柱。每個中心都從 Seed 起步；取得經審核標章後，即可進入 Branch 與 Reef 層級。
已認證
至少一位 MD-4 教練、在日常潛水中提供完整練習流程、具書面紀錄的福祉措施，以及公開的影響紀錄。每一項支柱，都須同時達標。
創始
全球首批 100 家 Mindful Diving Centers™ 之一——這項終身榮譽與認證資格並存，並非更高的認證等級。
一枚認證標章。三個成長層級。
每間中心都從 Seed 起步——透過自評加入的入門會員資格（€190，之後每年 €95）。經稽核認證標章（€1,111，之後每年 €555）開啟通往 Branch 與 Reef 的路。三個等級，標示實踐扎根的深度。等級靠實踐取得，絕非付費購買。
Seed
實踐已扎根。完成自評：已簽署協議，安全達 70 分以上，練習流程已融入日常潛水，中心也已列入 Atlas 名錄。
Branch
實踐已融入整個團隊。已頒發認證、帶領 FP20 練習，團隊中有資深同事，也已走過第一年。
Reef
成為讓他者安身的生態系。已培育多位取得認證的潛水員、參與研究、舉辦社群活動，並輔導另一間中心。
創始資格與等級無關：創始中心可以是 Seed、Branch 或 Reef。

常見問題
- 成為 Mindful Diving Center™，是否意味著要離開我原屬的潛水訓練組織？
- 不會。Mindful Diving™ 與 SSI、PADI、CMAS 及 RAID 互補，並獨立運作。你與原機構的隸屬關係、採用的標準及潛水計畫，都維持不變。這枚標章認可的，是在既有基礎上增添的練習、身心福祉與影響力。
- 取得標章，實際需要符合哪些條件？
- Seed是基於自我評估的入門會員資格。經過稽核的Seal要求依據七大支柱進行審查；Branch與Reef是憑實際表現獲得的級別。Founding身分獨立於級別。申請前請查閱公開要求及續期條款。
- 什麼是 Founding 100？
- 全球首批 100 家 Mindful Diving Center™，依創始條款加入：在公開名錄中獲得創始成員註記、及早參與標準制定，並在會員資格存續期間持續享有創始優惠價格。
- 這真的會為我們帶來預訂嗎？
- 它帶來的，是任何訓練機構證照都無法給你的：讓特定潛水員選擇你，而不是隔壁潛店的理由。這些潛水員要的是平靜、專注與意義，不只是再一張證照。我們不承諾客流量；我們提供有別於其他潛店的服務方案、公開名錄登錄，以及協助銷售的素材。
- 取得認證需要多久？
- 多數中心能在一季內取得標章。主要取決於是否有一位或多位工作人員完成 MD-4 Mindful Dive Instructor™（正念潛水教練™），並將練習歷程與影響紀錄納入日常運作。
中心，是人們願意再回來的地方。
Center partnership
A clearer guest experience. A practical center partnership.
Give your team a shared readiness check, a considered briefing and a short reflection after the dive. Start with one guest package, learn from its delivery, then grow at your own pace.
Centers, PROs and partners: roles and fees
Center / operator
Owns guest bookings and diving operations. Agrees the guest price, logistics, instructor and payment allocation. Its membership does not affiliate its whole team.
MDI PRO
An individually affiliated professional. Teaches and assesses within verified authority; earns the agreed teaching fee. PRO-1 covers MD-1/MD-2; PRO-2 adds MD-3. MD-4/MD-5 need Institute arrangements.
Federation / community partner
Contributes experience, convenes members and helps shape the pilot. May work with an operating host without becoming a center. Agrees attribution, costs and public endorsement. Partnership alone grants no teaching rights or standard referral reward.
Diver / participant
Receives one clear inclusion and cost summary, uses an individual email and completes the applicable learning, practice and assessment. A community demonstration does not award certification.
Membership is separate from enrollment and teaching: Founding PRO €111.00/year; Seed €190.00 in the first year. Confirm Founding eligibility, renewals and previous payments. Seed and the audited Seal are distinct services. Certification credits are also separate from teaching fees.

Use a group summary here; collect participant names and readiness information through the secure process. Confirm any agency course, its fees and instructor authority with its provider. Agency dives do not automatically fulfil MDI session requirements.
- Name the coordinator and authorized PRO; confirm prerequisites and the session/assessment plan.
- Agree inclusions, exclusions, taxes, payer, payment date, weather, cancellations and refunds before taking bookings.
- Collect each participant’s own name/email through the secure roster; confirm online access and practical dates.
- Record delivery, verify academic work separately, reconcile payments and review the first cohort before setting the next rate.
DRAFT - confirm the written agreement before booking. This estimate does not issue an invoice, grant access or certify a participant.
Your center earns €50–€250 for each eligible paid MD level, as shown below.
| Level | Online price | Center earns | Net MDI invoice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD-1 | €111.00 | €50.00 | €61.00 |
| MD-2 | €111.00 | €50.00 | €61.00 |
| MD-3 | €222.00 | €100.00 | €122.00 |
| MD-4 | €333.00 | €150.00 | €183.00 |
| MD-5 | €555.00 | €250.00 | €305.00 |
Eligible MD-1, MD-2 and MD-3 enrollments include the MDI certification fee when assessed by an authorized PRO at the credited center; no additional €11 or €22 credit is deducted. MD-4 and MD-5 practical training, assessor and panel arrangements are agreed separately with the Institute. Buying online access does not grant teaching or trainer authorization. You set your guest water-session price, pay the delivering PRO the agreed teaching fee, and retain the balance before other operating costs and taxes.
Plan each level and its assessment
- MD-1: Entry pathway: online learning, required supervised water sessions and assessment by an authorized PRO.
- MD-2: Confirm MD-1 readiness, complete advanced learning and water assessment. PRO-1 or PRO-2 within their verified agency rating.
- MD-3: Confirm the preceding levels; arrange the Leadership Practicum and an authorized PRO-2 or Institute assessor.
- MD-4: Confirm the preceding levels and active agency instructor rating; agree an authorized Instructor Trainer, Teaching Practicum, portfolio and sign-off with MDI.
- MD-5: Confirm MD-4 and Institute admission; agree the Trainer Academy, supervised MD-4 cohort, portfolio and panel review. Trainer authorization is an Institute decision.
One center reward per learner per level, after payment and access activation. MDI-collected rewards become payable after a 30-day refund hold and are settled monthly following payment review. Complimentary places, team training, repeat enrollments, bundles, discounted purchases and seat packs do not qualify. A center reward and a PRO referral share cannot apply to the same enrollment. Refunds reverse the reward; a dispute pauses settlement pending review.
Choose the payment route for each booking. MDI collects through your center link and pays the reward monthly. Or your center collects one guest payment: select the level and request named seats, accept MDI’s net invoice and receive email-bound access codes once payment is confirmed. The level’s EUR reward is retained in that invoice, never paid twice. Both the course and net invoice are in EUR; no currency conversion is needed.
Independent PRO referrals remain 20% under the PRO terms. The center booking link you open before checkout selects the center; use a PRO link for independent referrals. Water teaching and certification permissions remain separate from earnings.
Supervised water sessions
Keep three amounts clear: the online course and center reward, the agreed PRO teaching fee, and diving logistics. A center can collect one guest payment and pay the assigned PRO the agreed teaching amount. Boat, equipment, instructor dive costs, travel and any taxes must be itemized in the quote. Complimentary online access does not include practical instruction.
There is no universal water-session tariff. Introductory pilot rates apply only to the named cohort; future rates are agreed after review. MD-4 and MD-5 require a bespoke total quote and Institute approval of the teaching or assessment plan.
- 01Check the learner’s preceding levels; agree the authorized teacher or assessor, who invoices and all practical costs.
- 02Add each team member’s name and email; nominate the instructor who will complete the pathway.
- 03Complete the online learning and arrange required water training and assessment.
- 04Launch one guest package; review the first delivery and its settlement together.
