Q & A

A:  If you can attend for the full 10 weeks it means you are ready for any job. If you only have Professional SCUBA but wish to be part of projects other than Media, Archeological or Scientific you will find employment limiting. You will definitely need HSE Surface Supplied if you wish to work under the HSE Inland/Inshore ACoP, and if you are doing 9 weeks of training you might as well do 10 and save money on the equipment package worth approx £1500.00.

A:  At this stage in your career you only need the basic diving qualifications and time in the water to build your experience and confidence, additional qualifications gained at dive school have little credibility  when you are fresh out of training.  At CDT we give you the best diver training and more in-water time because this is what you need. During the CDT HSE Surface Supplied course you will also receive extensive tools training, FREE!  You need to get valuable time in the water, you might as well spend that time constructively to prepare you for industry.

A:  NONE…During your 10 week stay we provide self catering accommodation ashore 7 days a week. Being based in the Southwest we are ideally placed for students to be able to travel home at weekends, or if you wish to stay in this beautiful part of the country we can advise you how to make the most of the surrounding area.
