If you’re already an experienced ADAS Part 1 & 2 diver, this qualification allows you to supervise and run dive team operations. It’s the next step up in our commercial diving courses and your dive career.

Our supervisor training and assessment course concentrates on diver-related theory in a supervisory context and includes consideration of the theory, background knowledge and practical skills of on-site diving supervision.

It pays special attention to the fundamental responsibilities of a supervisor under relevant WH&S law, particularly hazard identification and risk assessment, and the management of diving emergencies.

This dive course also includes assessment of actual dive planning and supervision and communication with real dive teams.
