11B-20.001(3)(a)3.a.:  Updates the Instructor Competency Checklist, form CJSTC-81, because rule requires diving instructor applicants to have either a Scuba Instructor or Dive Master certification.

11B-20.0014(3)(a)3.-4.:  Requires instructor applicants to possess a general instructor certification, scuba instructor or dive master certification, and must have been employed as a public safety diver or instructed Underwater Police Science and Technology within the past four years.
