碩士 / 輔仁大學 / 體育學系碩士班 / 97 / The purpose of the study was to investigate the professional scuba-diving participants’ perception of relevant regulations and diving courses’ contents. For both diving coaches and non-coach diving participants who participate in international diving organizations such as PADI, NAUI, SSI, CMAS, SDI and ADS, their understanding of diving courses’ contents and current related regulations were also examined. The subjects were diving coaches and participants selected from northern, central and southern Taiwan areas. A researcher self-developed questionnaire, “Scuba-diving Participant’s Perception of Relevant Regulations and Diving Course Contents and Planning”, was distributed to collect data. The results of the study were as follows:
1. Coaches showed higher perception levels on “Authority of Control and Activity Restrictions to Diving Participants” and “Required Certificate for Diving Activity”, whereas participants scored higher on the perception of “Required License/Certificate for Diving”.
2. Coaches with higher educational degrees had a significant higher importance perception on the relevant regulations than those with lower educational degrees; diving participants from the ADS system showed the lowest importance perception level on relevant regulations among different operating systems.
3. Diving participants showed the highest recognition level on the “Diving Procedures and Safety Procedures” course and the lowest on “Diving Physics”; for the practical skills courses, “Self-relief of Spasm in Water”, “Tread Water with Weight”, “Beginning Level Diving Capable of Accomplishing 200M Swimming” or “Scuba-diving with Light Equipment Capable of Accomplishing 300M Swimming”, and “Non-hydroscope Diving Technique” were among the less recognized courses in terms of content importance.
4. Diving participants from the PADI system had a significant higher importance recognition level on “Writing Exams after Classes” than those from other systems; significant differences were also found between participants from the SDI and ADS systems; and ADS participants showed significant differences in the fulfillment and practice of learned courses as compared to those of other systems.
5. There were significant differences among coaches with different ages on importance recognition levels in arranging “Air Embolism Diving Medicine”, “Diving Physics”, “Non-Decompression Air Dive Table”, “Ocean Environment and Biology Identification”, “Diving Safety Procedures”, “After-class Writing Exam”, and “Time Length of Classes” courses or practices.
Keywords: Recreational scuba diving, scuba diving instructors, scuba diving participants, course contents, regulation perception.
