ADAS Part 2 Air Diver to 30m

Occupational Air Diver (Onshore) To 30 Metres

The "onshore" occupational air diving qualification to 30 metres is a progressive step from AS2815.1 (Occupational SCUBA Diver). This includes the use of surface supplied breathing apparatus and significantly increases the diver's ability to operate under working situations.

It includes the use of welding and cutting equipment, pneumatic and hydraulic tools, salvage equipment, airlift and water-dredging equipment, construction tools and other work related subjects, to meet onshore diving industry requirements. AS2815.2 qualified divers cannot operate in the offshore diving industry. AS2815.2 incorporates AS2815.1.
