This program is for working divers using SCUBA for the air supply up to 30 Meters (99 FSW). Commercial SCUBA work is very cost-effective for shallow diving tasks such as cleaning boat hulls, inspections, and harvesting sea life for sale. Yet it carries much more risk than its surface-supplied counterpart. For this reason, training and adherence to written standards can help minimize those risks and create a safer, more productive dive team.
Our program trains divers in the fundamentals of diving, how to operate safely in a water environment, and the standards of operation for the dive station/job site.
