The Commercial Surface Supply Diver qualification is the next step after Scuba training. This qualification is needed by commercial divers working in harbours, doing inland dam wall outlet maintenance, as well as shipping repairs and close inshore salvage. The qualification allows divers to use scuba and surface supply diving equipment and the diver can do more tasks in the underwater working field. These training tasks include underwater welding and cutting, underwater dredging, air lifting, using salvage equipment, construction tools and a range of hydraulic and pneumatic tools used in the onshore / inland diving tasks. The Old HSE Part 3, ADAS Part 2 / Class III diver may not work in the oil & gas offshore diving industry.

Remember we do more than the minimum training on courses as the minimum reduces diving job opportunities and limits a divers career.
