RBSA 1001:2027 — Rubelis Standard for Situational Awareness Education in Recreational Diving

RBSA 1001:2027 specifies requirements for the design, delivery, assessment, governance, provider authorization, quality assurance and claims control of complementary situational-awareness education in recreational diving. The standard defines four implementation profiles: Prospective Diver (RBSA-P), Junior (RBSA-J), Certified Diver (RBSA-D) and Facilitator (RBSA-F). It establishes the Rubelis Awareness Cycle—Observe, Recognise, Interpret, Anticipate, Decide and Reflect—together with requirements for scenario design, assessment validity and reliability, safeguarding, accessibility, data governance, artificial intelligence, information security, complaints, appeals and conformity evidence. RBSA 1001:2027 is issued by Rubelis OÜ as a private-sector educational standard. It does not confer diving qualifications, instructor ratings, medical clearance or operational diving privileges, and it does not replace recognized practical diver training. First Edition. Version 1.0. Publication date: 20 September 2026. Effective date: 1 January 2027.
