Who is the course for?
The scuba to 30 M Certificate is designed to give you a fundamental understanding of the basic skills and requirements that will be needed to become a commercial diver.

TRAINING LOCATIONS
The Commercial Dive Academy, trains the majority of all certified occupational scuba divers across all of Australia. Due to the high demand of diver training in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the rest of the mainland we have now set up a permanent diving site for ADAS Part one diver training in Brisbane.
CDA affiliated diver training is currently found in:
Queensland
Tasmania
Student Pre-Requisites
Divers must be at least 18 years of age at the commencement of training
Hold a recognised certificate of recreational diving competence (e.g. an open water sports diver qualification from a recognised SCUBA training organization, or a certificate as a military diver) and demonstrate logged evidence of at least 10 dives undertaken since receiving certification and within 6 months of commencing the ADAS training course
Before we can allow anyone to dive, they must hold an occupational dive medical. I am sure you have AS/NZS 2299.1 memorised now, and you guessed right. your medical, needs to be in accordance with this standard.
Because of this, the doctor who assesses you for medical fitness is required to be trained in hyperbaric medicine and certified as an occupational diving doctor.
you can find dive doctors using the SPUMS website below
https://www.spums.org.au/
You can learn more about the dive medicals by clicking here.
To meet the AS/NZS 2299.1 and ADAS requirements anyone who joins a course at CDA, or any other ADAS school is required to have a current first aid, 02 provider and CPR certification.
in general if the card has first aid on it, and the course was about a day long. it is likely this will be accepted. though if you are not sure if your first aid ticket is accepted, you can contact us any time to find out.
