Diving superintendent is a professional role in commercial diving, responsible for the operational management of a diving project. The diving superintendent has the final say on all operational matters related to the dive, and is responsible for the safety and efficiency of the dive team.
Role and Responsibilities[edit | edit source]
The diving superintendent is responsible for the planning, execution, and supervision of all aspects of a commercial diving operation. This includes ensuring that all diving operations are conducted in accordance with relevant diving regulations and industry standards, and that all diving personnel are properly trained and competent to perform their duties.
The diving superintendent is also responsible for ensuring that all diving equipment is in good working order and is suitable for the intended operation. This includes the diving bell, diving suit, underwater breathing apparatus, and any other equipment used in the operation.
In addition to these responsibilities, the diving superintendent is also responsible for managing the dive team, which may include divers, tenders, diving medical technicians, and other support personnel. This includes ensuring that all team members are properly briefed and understand their roles and responsibilities, and that all safety procedures are followed.
Qualifications and Training[edit | edit source]
To become a diving superintendent, an individual must have significant experience in commercial diving, typically as a working diver. They must also have a thorough understanding of diving physics, physiology, and emergency procedures.
In many countries, diving superintendents are required to hold a specific certification, such as the Diving Supervisor certification issued by the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA). This certification requires the completion of a specific training course and a minimum amount of experience in commercial diving.
