面向潜水中心经营者
给潜水中心：让人选择你的理由
Mindful Diving™ 不与你所属的培训机构竞争。它是一套国际标准，在你已经做好的事情上加以补充，让这些成果可见、可衡量，也难以照搬。
你已熟悉的四个问题
你靠价格和距离优势参与竞争
海湾里的每家潜水中心都教同一套大纲。如果没有独具特色的课程与服务，就只能靠降价和位置竞争。
持证潜水员不再回来
完成开放水域和进阶课程后，后续路径渐渐变少。让潜水员愿意不断回来的，是一项持续的练习，而不是又一张证书。
你的教练正陷入职业倦怠
员工流失代价高昂，却不显现在资产负债表上。Instructor Wellbeing 是标准的一大支柱，不是事后补上的考虑。
你为海洋付出的努力尚未得到认可
清理、调查与修复工作，很少出现在顾客看得见的地方。影响记录让这些工作有据可查。
水之影像馆
一枚认证标章，两种状态
一套标准，七大支柱。每家中心都从 Seed 起步；通过认证标章审核后，即可进入 Branch 和 Reef 级别。
已认证
至少配备一位 MD-4 教练，在常规潜水中提供完整练习流程，将身心健康保障措施记录在案，并公开影响记录。所有支柱要求，须同时满足。
创始
全球首批 100 家 Mindful Diving Center™ 之一——这是一份终身荣誉，与认证资质并列，并非更高的认证等级。
一个认证标识。三个成长等级。
每家中心都从 Seed 起步——这是通过自评加入的入门会员级别（首次 €190，此后每年 €95）。经审核认证标章（首次 €1,111，此后每年 €555）开启通往 Branch 和 Reef 的路径。三个等级标示实践的深入程度。等级凭实践获得，不能购买。
Seed
让实践扎根。自评要求：签署协议，安全得分达到70分或以上，将练习流程融入日常潜水，并将中心列入 Atlas。
Branch
实践已融入整个团队：颁发了认证，开展了 FP20 测评，团队中有资深同事，也已走过第一个年头。
Reef
成为可供他人栖身的生态。已为众多潜水员完成认证，参与研究，举办社群活动，并指导另一家中心成长。
创始成员身份与等级无关：创始成员潜水中心可以处于 Seed、Branch 或 Reef 等级。

常见问题
- 成为 Mindful Diving Center™，是否意味着要离开我所属的潜水培训机构？
- 不会。Mindful Diving™ 与 SSI、PADI、CMAS 和 RAID 相互补充，同时独立于这些机构。你所属的机构、遵循的标准和潜水计划都保持原样。认证标章认可的是在此基础上增加的实践、身心福祉与影响。
- 获得认证标识，具体需要满足哪些要求？
- Seed是基于自我评估的入门会员资格。经过审核的Seal要求依据七大支柱进行审查；Branch与Reef是凭实际表现获得的级别。Founding身份独立于级别。申请前请查阅公开要求及续期条款。
- 什么是 Founding 100？
- 全球首批100家 Mindful Diving Centers™，按创始条款加入：在公开名录中获创始成员标注，及早参与标准制定，并在会籍存续期间始终享有创始定价。
- 这真的能为我们带来预订吗？
- 它提供了任何机构的证卡都无法提供的东西：让某一类潜水员选择你、而非隔壁潜店的理由。这类潜水员想要的是平静、专注与意义，而不只是再拿一张证卡。我们不承诺客流量；我们提供有辨识度的课程服务、公开名录展示，以及用于推广的材料。
- 取得认证需要多长时间？
- 多数中心可在一个潜水季内获得标章。进度主要取决于能否让一名或多名员工完成 MD-4 Mindful Dive Instructor™（正念潜水教练™）培训，并将练习路径与影响记录纳入日常运营。
潜水中心，是人们愿意回来的地方。
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.

Center collects: retain the reward in MDI’s net invoice. Codes follow payment confirmation. Full-price eligible first enrollments only; team training, repeats, discounts and bundles are excluded. One credited partner per enrollment.

MD-1: 2 published supervised water sessions
- Confirm entry requirements and assessor authorization before booking practical delivery.
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.
