General
The HSE Surface Supplied Diver Course at CDT is an intensive full time residential programme designed to prepare candidates for Inshore/Inland construction, inspection and shipping diving projects.
The mandatory course content dictated by the HSE has been significantly expanded upon, built on our own extensive experience in the field.
Dives will be undertaken from a variety of dive spreads including our 24m Ex Admiralty Fleet Tender and 2 x 12m Work Boats.
Practical tasks will be undertaken by all candidates, day and night, including inspection, construction and shipping work, report writing, project planning and risk assessment.
