ADAS Part 2:
Surface supply Diving to 30 m
The next stage.
After you’ve completed your ADAS Part 1 commercial dive certificate, this 4-week module allows you to dive to 30 metres on surface supply breathing apparatus (SSBA) or air sent down from the surface via an umbilical line.
This is the basic working commercial divers qualification. You will wear a rigid helmet or a semi rigid bandmask, learn construction techniques such as rigging and moving heavy items underwater, underwater cutting and welding and how to safely use hydraulic and pneumatic tools.
Please note:
You cannot complete this qualification unless you already have an ADAS Part 1 or are completing it with a Part 2 Qualification.
Prerequisites.
You must:
- Already hold a Part 1 or be pursuing it as part of a combined course.
- All entry requirements for Part 1 must still be current.
Please bring all your original entry requirement paperwork to Day One of your course, including your USI number.
