All official KMDSI Technician and Operator/User Certificates & Certification Cards are issued by Dive Lab only. Dive Lab issues Certificates and/or Certification Cards after reviewing the course completion forms submitted from authorized KMDSI Dealer trainers and authorized commercial diver training schools. Dealer and schools are not authorized to issue their own certificates and Technician and/or Operator/User training.

If you do not have a Dive Lab issued Certificate or a Certification Card then you are not an authorized/recognized Kirby Morgan Technician.

MAILING CERTIFICATES – This option ends on December 31, 2026

Dive Lab will mail Certification Cards/Paper Certificates to Instructors in U. S. using Regular U.S. Postal Service/without tracking. For shipments overseas, via Regular U.S. Postal Service/without tracking, the cost is dependent upon the amount of certifications cards ordered. Some countries overseas experience difficulty with reliable postal service, therefore Dive Lab highly recommends some form of tracking such as FedEx, DHL, International Priority with Tracking or others. Dive Lab is not responsible for lost mail

CERTIFICATE EXPIRATION DATES

First time Technicians will receive a 3 year certificate. Returning students are eligible for a 4 year re-certification, but only if previous certificate has not expired. No exceptions. It is the responsibility of a Technician to always stay current on their certifications!
