The ADAS Part Two course is for the diver who wants to work in aquaculture or onshore civil work that does not require and ADAS Part Three ticket.
The ticket allows divers to work in non-decompression conditions where depths will not exceed 30 metres. This means for non-complex and shallow onshore dive sites the ticket is a minimum requirement.
Divers with the ADAS Part Two ticket are able to use a huge range of power tools, including hydraulic and pneumatics as well as welding and Broco thermic cutting underwater.
ADAS Part Two is also a pre-requisite for our ADAS Part Three course, which allows divers to earn considerably more money, work offshore and work onshore in more complex roles such as deep dams or salvage.
ADAS Part One or ADAS Aquaculture ticket
- To enrol in our ADAS Part Two (Surface Supplied Air to 30m) course you must first have completed our ADAS Part One or ADAS Aquaculture course. Your ADAS tickets need to also be current. For most students going directly from ADAS Part One, this is easily met!
Current Commercial Dive Medical
- Before we can allow anyone to dive, they must hold an occupational dive medical compliant to the Australian Standard (AS) 2299.1.
- 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: https://www.spums.org.au/
Current First Aid, CPR and Advanced Oxygen Resuscitation certificates
- 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.
- If you are completing your First Aid, CPR or O2 course in Australia, you can check if the units are acceptable by checking this table.
