Job Opportunities

As a qualified ADAS onshore supervisor there are a range of opportunities that are available, ranging from Aquaculture (Fish farming), Aquarium work, Onshore Construction, etc. CDA Prides itself on its 100% Employment rate for 2018, and will help in any way it can to aid in the employment process of a graduated student.
Student Pre-Requisites
Students must hold a commercial diving certificate that is to the level that you are attempting to gain your supervisor ticket in (This must ADAS or convertable equivalent such as HSE, DCBC etc).
You must be recommended by your employer as being suitably mature, experienced and competent (there is a separate form letter for this that we will mail out on request).
Each level has a set number of logged SCUBA or SSBA dives and bottom time requirements that you must have logged over at least 12 months.
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.
