INTRODUCTION This manual contains all the necessary contents required to obtain the title of PTRD Extended Diver, equivalent to CMAS Extended Range Diver and ISO 11207. It is the first step to be able to do the technical diving programs.. It has been drafted based on the guidelines of the EUF/ISO, CMAS. This training programme aims at widening the experience gained since becoming an Advanced Nitrox diver through theory and techniques. This course will include training in accelerated decompression techniques. It will make candidates aware of the additional risks involved while undertaking this type of Diving. Once you have completed the theory and practice at sea, and passed the evaluation, your instructor will certify you as a PTRD Extended Range Diver as you will be considered to have a professional level knowledge of dive theory, solid technical skills, dive management and supervision skills, exemplary diving skills and sufficient experience to plan, organize and perform open water diving activities and organized dives in a safe and competent manner. A PTRD Extended Range Diver has specialized training and appropriate experience. A PTRD Extended Range Nitrox Diver shall be trained such that when assessed by a PTRD Instructor, he shall be deemed to have sufficient knowledge, skill and experience: • To plan, conduct, and log EANopen-water dives that can involve in-water, decompression stops using Nitrox mixes up to and including pure oxygen, when properly equipped with inservice oxygen clean Scuba and accompanied by a SCUBA diver of at lease equal training • To be aware of the additional risks attached to this type of diving and the use of pure oxygen • Able to undertake this type of diving at altitude depending on the National Federation rules • Be able to plan dives, select and use the correct mix and gas usage • Be able to demonstrate an understanding of depth discipline when using pure oxygen. The permitted depth is limited to a maximum of 56 meters (or to the maximum depth permitted by national standards) subject to a 1.4 pO2 for diving and 1.6 pO2 for stage stopsIf you are unable to successfully complete any of the sections, discuss with your instructor the options available, whether it is certification of a lower degree or the possibility of completing your course at another centre. Keep in mind that you will need additional training if you are going to dive to places whose conditions are very different from those of your training. For example, if you have done your course in a quiet area of the Caribbean in short 1mm suits, and then you are going to dive in cold water with strong currents using 7mm or dry suits,

  • Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification
    Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification The steps to become a Certified Scientific Diver at the University of Washington (UW) are outlined below. 1. Obtain sponsorship for scientific diving by an appropriate University department or unit. Applicants who do not have a departmental sponsor and want to learn to be scientific divers can complete the Scientific Diver Course at UW Friday Harbor Labs. This course meets the requirements for full Scientific Diver certification as outlined below, and includes research projects for students to receive dive training. 2. Read the UW Diving Safety Manual. UW divers must understand and follow the safety, procedural, and medical requirements outlined in the manual and submit a signed copy of the Dive Manual Acknowledgement form. 3. Complete and submit the Diving Registration Form to the UW Diving Safety Officer (DSO). This form must be signed by the department official sponsoring the diver (e.g., principal investigator, department chair) . Submission of this form is a onetime requirement while at the UW. The form is resubmitted if any diver information changes. 4. Complete and submit documentation of recreational SCUBA diver training to UW DSO. Diving applicants must have completed a recreational SCUBA diving training course as a pre-requisite for scientific diving certification at the UW. Recreational SCUBA diving training must be provided by a nationally recognized organization (e.g., PADI, NAUI, SSI, IANTD, TDI). 5. Obtain Diving Medical Clearance from the UW Employee Health Center. Applicants will contact the UW Employee Health Center (EHC) to obtain necessary information for completing a dive physical and for transfer of medical records.

  • Supervised Dive
    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.

  • Commercial Diving Physical Examination
    Commercial Diving Physical Examination To the Applicant / Student: Attached are the forms and instructions for a commercial diving physical examination. One of the most important requirements for acceptance as a student in the Professional Certificate in Marine Technology at National University and to become a commercial diver is a thorough physical examination in accordance with Association of Diving Contractors International standards. As a commercial diver, it is a personal responsibility to always have a current physical exam. A current physical exam must have been completed within the last year and there must be no physical maladies which would preclude you from diving or making hyperbaric exposures. Although the commercial diving physical examination can be done by any licensed physician; it is always best to have the physical examination done by a physician who is trained in diving medicine or hyperbaric medicine. Attached is a list of physicians in Los Angeles and San Diego who are approved to conduct diving examinations. You must have the physical examination completed including the laboratory testing (which can take several weeks) prior to the beginning of the program. The cost of the examination can vary and supporting laboratory fees can range from $275 to $600 dollars or more depending on if the physician finds the need to run additional tests. You are personally required to provide the following forms completed and signed by the doctor: The attached National University Polytechnic Institute letter stating that you have passed the physical examination and are cleared for work as a diver and for hyperbaric exposures. The attached ADCI form (Medical History and Physical Examination) completed and signed by yourself and the physician.
