Scuba Diving Commercial

Commercial Diving - Any person wishing to become a professional diver normally requires specific training that satisfies any regulatory agencies which have local authority. The work in this area of the industry typically revolves around the maintenance of oil platforms and the building of underwater structures used in the production process. Due to the dangerous nature of some professional diving operations, specialised equipment such as an on-site hyperbaric chamber and diver-to-surface communication system is often required by law.

Commercial DivingThe HSE approved Professional Scuba qualification is required by all professionals who extend their work underwater including media film makers, actors and presenters, archaeologists, marine biologists, oceanographers and inspection engineers. Come and get your HSE Professional Scuba Qualifications with Extreme Sports Cafe, and our team of world class trainers, and divers of all disciplines..

HSE PROFESSIONAL SCUBA DIVER (C90)

The HSE approved Professional Scuba qualification is required by all professionals who extend their work underwater including media film makers, actors and presenters, archaeologists, marine biologists, oceanographers and inspection engineers. Included within the syllabus are: 

  • a. Diving Theory - effects of pressure, gases, diving physiology, decompression.
  • b. Training is initially within the diving tank as it may be the first time that some students will use full-face masks such as the Aga mask.
  • c. Tethered dives are made using special rope/telephone systems to connect with the rest of the dive team plus the use of rope-pull lifeline signals.
  • d. Modern digital through water comms systems are fitted to some of the Aga masks and their theory and advantages / disadvantages are taught.
  • e. Decompression chamber operation is introduced and 'dry' dive to a depth of 50m is experienced. Commercial Diving

  • f. Use of Tools underwater inc. handtools, rigging, knots and splicing - a common complaint of many diving companies is that even simple rigging tasks involving tying of ropes to equipment don't seem to be within many 'new' divers capabilities!
  • g. Underwater searches with shotlines and lazyshots.
  • h. Boat handling - inflatables and RIBS (an RYA Powerboat handling course can also be run as a separate course perhaps at a weekend to assist programme planning).

  • j. Professional skills development will include report writing and Risk Assessments.

Scuba Diving Courses and Experiences from Extreme Sports Cafe

Scuba Diving Certification - Recreational scuba diving does not have a centralised certifying or regulatory agency, and is mostly self regulated. There are, however, several large diving organisations that train and certify divers and dive instructors, and many diving related sales and rental outlets require proof of diver certification from one of these organisations prior to selling or renting certain diving products or services. PADI, BSAC, NAUI, CMAS, SSI, SDI,  TDI and ERDi are the most popular international certification agencies that are currently recognised by most diving outlets for diver certification.
