Inshore/Inland Commercial Diver: Surface Supply 30m (Class III)
Class III Commercial Diver training builds upon the foundational skills acquired in earlier classifications (Class IV), focusing on surface-supplied diving operations. This level is crucial for divers who need to work in environments requiring more complex equipment and procedures.
Course Structure
-
Theory Component: This part of the training covers theoretical aspects necessary for surface-supplied diving, including equipment operation, umbilical management, and safety protocols. It is typically completed before practical sessions.
-
Practical Training: Conducted at an approved commercial diving facility, this hands-on training emphasises the application of theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. Participants learn to manage surface-supplied diving equipment, handle umbilicals, and operate specialised gear like the Kirby Morgan hat.
Modules Include:
-
Surface Plant and Equipment: Understanding and operating surface-based equipment for diving operations.
-
Surface-Supplied Diving Equipment: Training on the use and maintenance of surface-supplied air systems.
-
Umbilical Management and Tendering: Learning to handle and manage umbilicals safely during dives.
-
Kirby Morgan Hat: Operator User Training: specialised training on using the Kirby Morgan diving helmet.
-
Class III Final Exams: Comprehensive assessments to ensure proficiency in all Class III skills.
Certification and Skills
Graduates of the Class III programme are certified to work with surface-supplied diving systems, enabling them to perform more complex underwater tasks than those in Class IV. They are equipped with the skills to manage and operate specialised equipment, conduct deeper dives safely, and handle emergencies effectively in a surface-supplied diving environment.
Career Path
After completing Class III, divers can progress to Class II, which involves even more advanced techniques and deeper dives, often requiring the use of more sophisticated equipment and procedures. This progression allows divers to take on more challenging roles in the commercial diving industry, such as underwater construction and repair work.
