Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme
Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS) is an Australian based international accreditation scheme for occupational divers and diving supervisors. The scheme is recognized for its high standards in safety, training, and diving technology.
History[edit | edit source]
The Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme was established in 1995 by the Australian Government in response to the need for a unified standard of training and accreditation for occupational divers. The scheme was developed in consultation with the diving industry, trade unions, and government regulatory bodies.
Accreditation[edit | edit source]
ADAS accredits divers at four levels, each with its own specific training and competency requirements. The levels are:
- ADAS Part 1 - SSBA to 30m
- ADAS Part 2 - SSBA to 50m
- ADAS Part 3 - SSBA to 50m (including wet bell)
- ADAS Part 4 - Closed Bell (Saturation Diving)
Training[edit | edit source]
Training under the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme is comprehensive and rigorous. It covers a wide range of skills and knowledge areas, including diving physics and physiology, diving medicine, decompression procedures, diving systems and equipment, emergency procedures, and underwater work skills.
Recognition[edit | edit source]
The Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme is recognized internationally and is a member of the International Diving Regulators and Certifiers Forum (IDRCF). ADAS accredited divers are able to work in a wide range of diving roles worldwide.
