- Very strong statement which is not true at all. BSAC may well be the
- largest national organization in the world run for and by divers but
- certainly it is not the only one. There are a lot of sport divers'
- associations in many countries, which are quite similar to the BSAC in
- their functions. There is also an international non-profit organization
- run for and by divers, the CMAS. CMAS has dozens member associations all
- over the world, and also the BSAC is member of CMAS.
