This is a fun and insightful program, designed to introduce recreational
divers and interested individuals to the equipment and diving techniques
used by the commercial diving industry, giving a greater scope of
understanding into Commercial Diving practices.
Theory covered included the use of decompression chambers and surface
supplied diving operations. Hands on experience is a big part of the
course; practical diving included, a decompression chamber dive to
50 metres and surface supplied diving in a heated pool. All had a
chance to use underwater communications, full face masks and helmets.
Ticketed divers enjoyed an additional exercise involving two "working"
dives at sea.
Although it’s important to note the program does not imply or provide
accreditation as a commercial diver, at the end of course all received
a participation certificate.
