Diver trainers work in ADAS Accredited Training Establishments (ATEs). Generally they start at the level of Assistant Diver Trainer (ADT) and progress to Diver Trainer (DT). In some instances, a DT may be promoted to ADAS Training and Assessment Manager (ATAM).

Assistant Diver Trainers (ADTs) assist ADAS Diver Trainers in the delivery of training at an ADAS ATE. Becoming an ADT involves undergoing an in-house program in the nominated ATE to develop specific occupational diver instructional experience and to enable ATEs to employ them to perform a useful function during ADAS training.

Diver Trainers (DTs) deliver courses relevant to the trainer’s qualification and, as opposed to ADTs, do not require supervision of the delivery training. All DTs must be certified diving supervisors at least at the level at which they will teach.

Specialist Diver Trainers (SDTs) have specialist subject knowledge (e.g. first aid, diving medicine, equipment maintenance, welding and cutting) and only instruct divers in specialist diving applications such as police, fisheries, scientific and military diving.

ADAS Training and Assessment Managers (ATAMs) are solely responsible for managing training and assessment activities and recommending divers for certification as ADAS divers. ATAMs form the basis of quality control and professionalism in the ADAS system. They are directly responsible for the safety of the trainee divers under their care and for the quality of the training and assessment delivered on their courses.

Tasks Performed on the Job
Diver Trainers are responsible for the delivery of ADAS accredited courses which involves:

• Supervising practical diving assessments
• Delivering lectures
• Supporting students in their study
• Being directly responsible for ensuring that all ADAS provisions are complied with during the conduct of the ADAS course

Hyperbaric welding, also called underwater welding, was invented in the early 1930s and is still used for maintaining and repairing fully or partially submerged marine structures. Inland hyperbaric welders can work on small seacraft, dams and bridges. On the other hand, offshore welders have to work on ships, oil rigs, pipelines and underwater habitats. They may even have to perform welding work on nuclear power facilities. Underwater welding can be perilous as salt water and water are good conductors of electricity. An Underwater Welder uses many common arc welding processes to weld and cut in a wide range of aquatic environments. They must use their welding know-how and intricate knowledge of diving procedures and protocol to effectively lay down strong welds, often in tight spaces and less-than-forgiving surroundings. Hyperbaric chambers and cofferdams are used for dry welding, while wet welding is performed in open waters up to several hundred feet deep.

There are two basic categories of underwater welding:

Dry Welding
Wet Welding

Dry Welding
In dry welding, a hyperbaric chamber is deployed to provide a dry environment. Instead of being done in the presence of water, dry welding is performed in a dry atmosphere that composes of a mixture of gases. Dry welding ensures higher quality and reliability.

A hyperbaric chamber is used in dry welding for more reliable results. First, a seal is created around the region that is going to be welded. Water is then pumped out through hoses and replaced with a gaseous mixture, such as helium and oxygen.

After pumping out all water, the hyperbaric chamber is pressurized at the right level in order to prevent decompression sickness.

Divers can choose from the following welding techniques.

• Habitat Welding

• Pressure Welding

• Dry Chamber Welding

• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (known as ‘TIG’)

• Gas Metal Arc Welding (known as MIG)

• Plasma Arc Welding

Wet Welding
Wet welding can be performed based on a number of factors. It depends on the urgency of repairs and level of access to the welding region. However, it is best to consider wet welding as a last resort. The welded joint may cool down too quickly due to rapid heat dissipation to the surrounding water. Quick cooling increases the risk of cracking and other joint defects. For the most reliable, durable and defect-free welded joints, the cooling rate must be carefully controlled. This is not possible while the process is carried out in the presence of water.

SShielded metal arc welding, which is also known as stick welding, is a popular choice for wet welding.

When everything is ready, the diver-welder signals the team to switch the power on. The power source can generate 300 to 400 amperes of direct current. You may be wondering how the diver does not get electrocuted by the massive current being generated. The key to this lies in the layer of gaseous bubbles that are generated when the arc melts the flux. This layer shields the weld and prevents electricity from being conducted beyond itself. Although these bubbles create an insulating layer to protect the diver against the current, they create a number of problems. These bubbles obscure the welding area, that is, they lower the welder’s visibility. Direct current is also used, which is safer for underwater applications as compared to alternating current.

Knowledge, skills and attributes   

 An underwater welder is required to demonstrate a combination of welding skills on dry land and commercial diving qualifications is clearly an elite career choice. Underwater welders are expected to have the ability to manage heavy equipment while performing work in a hazardous work environment.

Welders are expected to have exceptional communication skills apart from interpersonal skills that will help them work well with the remainder of the team.

An underwater welder reasons well, in a logical manner, is sensitive to problems and can tell when things are amiss, or when they are getting out of hand. Because they often weld in an environment where the water visibility is nil, they are able to interpret reality through their hands. Welding requires a steady hand, whether ashore or underwater; an underwater welder demonstrates this steadiness. They're capable of precise movements, can speak clearly and express themselves both well and, if necessary, forcefully.

Duties and Tasks

Welder-divers are required to perform various duties that include fitting and rigging, inspection and non-destructive testing, drafting, underwater photography and underwater cutting. Some underwater divers are expected to render assistance to project managers in the field of project planning.

An underwater welder's primary duties include planning the welding work based on the customer's requirements, the situation at the work site, including the depth, visibility, water temperature, currents and any turbulence. An underwater welder's job is very physical; it includes moving objects and setting up the welding equipment aboard a boat or at a pier, inspecting the work site and determining how long to remain underwater.

An underwater welder’s secondary tasks include maintaining the welding machine on the surface, as well as the waterproof electrical leads that connect the welding machine to the electrode the diver uses to make the weld. Although communications are critical, maintaining contact with surface personnel is secondary to the welding job. The primary responsibility for communications rests with the dive supervisor. In addition, the underwater welder advises the customer of the exact conditions at the work site.

Working conditions

For extensive underwater welding deep below the water level, underwater welders must work in pairs within the hyperbaric chamber. First, the hyperbaric chamber is lowered to the right depth and filled with breathable gases. Using a diving bell, the diver goes down to the same level, enters the chamber and starts welding. Shifts can last between six and eight hours.

Underwater welders work in remote and dangerous locations, such as offshore oil rigs and pipelines. Although this work is financially rewarding, it is also one of the most dangerous jobs. The fatality rate for underwater welding is one of the highest even among the most dangerous occupations.

The following are the greatest dangers faced by diver-welders.

Drowning. If the scuba gear fails in any way, the diver can drown if he or she is too deep below the water surface.
Explosions. Combustible mixtures can be created from flammable gases like oxygen and hydrogen. If these pockets grow too large and are ignited, the resultant explosion can be lethal. This poses a serious risk to diver-welders.
Electric shock. Electrocution remains a serious threat due to the large currents involved in welding. All equipment used for underwater welding must be waterproof. Keep the equipment well maintained. Make it a habit to always test the equipment prior to use. Make sure that there are no leaks in any equipment. Equipment should also be properly insulated.
Lung, ear and nose damage. You should be careful of spending too much time deep underwater. This can lead to long-term health issues related to the nose, lungs and ears.
Decompression Sickness. This is also called diver’s disease. This occurs due to the inhalation of gases at different pressures. Decompression sickness can prove to be fatal in extreme cases.
Marine wildlife. Although shark attacks are not too common, divers must be wary of sharks and other deadly marine animals.
   

Tools and technologies

Underwater welding process is quite similar to welding on land. Both types of welding employ the same basic equipment and techniques. Hence, many underwater welders get trained to become professional welders before learning commercial diving.

Education and training/entrance requirements

You can work as a Diver without formal qualifications, however, a Vocational Education and Training course in occupational diving is necessary.

An offshore construction diver assists with the construction and repair of pipelines and structures associated with the production of offshore oil and gas. They are also employed in routine inspections of these structures and use non-destructive testing. They are often tradespeople, such as boilermakers or welders.

Offshore diving is the most well known branch of commercial diving, with divers working in support of the exploration and production sector of the oil and gas industry. Divers work from one end of the world to the other in places such as the North West Shelf, Timor Sea and Bass Strait in Australia, the Gulf of Mexico in the United States, the North Sea in the United Kingdom and Norway and pretty much everywhere else from Kazakhstan to New Zealand. The work in this area of the industry typically involves the maintenance of oil platforms and the building of underwater structures used in the production process. Offshore air divers are employed to undertake construction, maintenance and inspection tasks on production platforms, subsea pipelines.

Projects of offshore underwater welding are usually at a bigger scale. Most of the projects are in the depth of the sea or at ships and oil rigs. These projects include the installations of a wellhead, repair of turbines of ships, survey of legs of anchor chains, site cleaning in the sea bed, repair, and inspection of oil pipelines deep down the sea, etc.

These projects require high skills of diving as well and it is required that welder must consider the extensive safety precautions while doing these jobs.

Responsibilities and Challenges
Divers have a duty of care to abide by legislation and guidelines set out by governments and relevant industry bodies, as well as to comply with contractor safe work practice policies. Particular responsibilities will differ with each job task and the person’s position within the team. Job Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments should be understood before commencing any work undertaken.

Tasks Performed on the Job
Offshore construction work is commissioned in project stages including exploration, installation and demobilization. Job tasks performed include: inspection of seabed before placing structures; grout bag filling for jacket leveling; positioning pin pile in conductor for jacket positioning; connecting tie back cables; launching pigs; stinger inspection; touchdown inspection; cutting buckled pipelines; metrology of spools; installation of riser clamps & risers; spool installation and free span grout bag installation.

Working conditions

There are no specific rules and regulations for the duration of an underwater welding project but the general concepts are that an underwater welder spends three to five weeks in the sea and then he takes the rest of five to ten days. But if the salary of the underwater welder is project-based, then there can be variations in this schedule and there are chances that he has to work for extra hours to complete his assigned task.

Offshore welding requires a lot of traveling and welders work far away from their homes.

Working in remote and often harsh or extreme environments can be physiologically and mentally demanding. Dive teams are required to achieve objectives safely within budget, and time restrictions. Work can be technically challenging, as can functioning as a link in a team. Considerable time away from a person’s home base must be considered when entering into this career path.

Highlights and Rewards

Commercial offshore air diving is an exciting and rewarding career. Many of the challenges of this job, when achieved successfully deliver a high level of job satisfaction. This work enables you to develop problem solving abilities, leadership and team-building skills. These are transferable skills that open up a wider range of career options. Travelling to many different locations, with an ever changing and international work force gives divers an opportunity to expand their cultural awareness.

Prerequisites
The minimum prerequisites to enrol onto an ADAS Part 3 training course include:

Have a current ADAS Part 2 qualification or approved equivalent

Students are trained in the topics defined by ADAS standards. Time is given to both learn and practice skills including the use of tools and surface supplied diving equipment, and students learn about personal and team safety during diving operations.

The duration of the Part 3 training course is four weeks. Divers starting out in the industry can do a combined Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 course which runs for twelve weeks.

Prospective students are encouraged to contact the ATEs for enrolment details, training schedules and course fees.

Career Pathways

To further their career, offshore air divers can move into saturation diving and mixed gas diving. However, becoming a diver and attaining experience in the offshore industry expands a diver’s potential beyond the job range for which training is specifically intended.

Due to the nature of the work, those with trade or scientific backgrounds will be advantaged in this industry. However a variety of factors will influence where a career in diving can take a person. All career divers must accept that they are committing themselves to a lifetime of continuous improvement – training to upgrade and improve your skills base is a feature of life for the ambitious diver. Senior positions as offshore project managers, line managers, and engineering managers are possible as well as other positions on offshore vessels, supervisory roles and becoming a trainer.

 

An onshore construction diver works on a variety of projects, such as hull inspection and repairs, maintenance work and salvage operations. They may also construct, inspect and repair weirs, locks and dams. Some of the projects that can be categorized as onshore underwater welding are maintenance, repair, and inspection of dam walls, direct wet welding of different water pipes, inspection, and repair of bridges and water towers, recovery and salvaging of sunk boats, maintenance of sewerage piping, disassembling of rotten structures, repair, and maintenance of inlet structures of nuclear power plants, installation or maintenance of dock pillars, etc.

Onshore construction diving is a broad sector involving a variety of tasks and work locations. The term ‘onshore/inshore’ refers to diving work that is undertaken close to the shore or inland in freshwater dams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and tanks, in depths of up to 50m.

The main thing that separates it form ‘offshore diving’ is that the latter is generally more sophisticated, conducted in direct support of the offshore oil and gas industry, undertaken in offshore waters and generally entails working under a different legislative regime that is more stringent and demanding.

Onshore construction diving does not include aquaculture, science diving, inspection diving or search and recovery diving. It does include any diving that is undertaken to assemble, construct, demolish, dismantle, install, clean, inspect, maintain, remove, repair, salvage, sample, search for, photograph, film, video or make a sound recording in relation to:

Excavation, including the excavation or filling of trenches, ditches, shafts, wells, tunnels and pier holes, and the use of caissons and cofferdams
Buildings, including the construction (including the manufacturing of prefabricated elements of a building at the place of work concerned), alteration, renovation, repair, maintenance and demolition of all types of buildings
Civil engineering, including the construction, structural alteration, repair, maintenance and demolition of, for example, airports, docks, harbours, inland waterways, dams, rivers and avalanche and sea defence works, road and highways, railways, bridges and tunnels, viaducts, and works related to the provision of services such as communications, drainage, sewage, water and energy supplies.

The ADAS Part 2 (SSBA to 30m) certification is the minimum required for onshore construction work, however, the ADAS Part 3 (SSBA to 50m) is an advantage.

Tasks Performed on the Job
The onshore construction diver may be required to perform a diverse range of tasks depending on the job. These may include:

Video & photography
Welding, cutting, hole boring in concrete, fitting anchors, dredging, trenching, cable laying, removing splicing and replacing pylons, wharf carpentry, steel assembly and fixing, pouring concrete, leak detection, concrete restoration, sand bagging
Working with hydraulic and pneumatic tools, using lift bags to lift and reposition heavy objects, rigging, working with cranes
Inspection and quality assurance.

Responsibilities and Challenges
As with other kinds of diving, the overall responsibilities of onshore construction diving are:

Personal fitness for work
Abstinence from alcohol and drugs
Maintenance of current medical and first aid certification
Maintenance of equipment
Maintenance of OHS systems, training and discipline
Maintenance of professional development and competency
Good work ethos and team work
Difficulties that come with onshore construction diving may be working in adverse weather, cold water, contaminated water, low visibility, currents or water flow, and the frustration of working in these kinds of conditions.

Highlights and Rewards
The rewards in this field are the enjoyment of working as a team, the satisfaction of achieving a goal and being engaged in diverse, interesting and challenging work. The work is hands-on and requires only minimal paperwork. Each day is different with scope to develop and use a very wide range of skills and involving travel to different locations. Earning capacity is quite high for minimal training. While the remuneration for onshore construction work is generally less than offshore construction work, the chance to go home at the end of the work day is a big advantage for many divers.

Prerequisites
The minimum prerequisites to enrol onto an ADAS Part 2 training course include:

Have a current ADAS Part 1 (SCUBA to 30m) qualification or approved equivalent
Hold a current First Aid certificate or Diver Medical Technician (DMT) certification
Hold current CPR and Oxygen Administration certification
Hold a current dive medical fitness certificate
Can understand written and verbal communication in English (unless the training is to be Non English Language)

Training
All industry standard diving equipment is used as is a range of hydraulic and pneumatic power tools, welding, cutting equipment and lift bags. Training will include a range of environments, including in low visibility and the training environment will reflect a working diving contractor as much as possible.

The duration of Part 2 training course is four weeks. Divers starting out in the industry can do a combined Part 1, Part 2 course which runs for eight weeks.

Prospective students are encouraged to contact the ATEs for enrollment details, training schedules and course fees.

The offshore construction diving section of this site provides more information about Part 3 (SSBA to 50m) training.

Career Pathways
After gaining an ADAS Part 2 (SSBA to 30m), a diver may choose to move into a number of different fields such as:

Offshore diving
Aquaculture diving
Science diving
Dive supervision
Project management
Contracting
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) operation
Training delivery
Chamber operation outside the diving industry (e.g, in hospitals or tunneling)
Atmospheric diving systems

A saturation diver may descend to depths of 300 metres or more and work in underwater work chambers or diving bells. These are the most qualified divers and work usually involves scientific research or the maintenance of deep sea structures. Differing from air diving (also called open bell or wet bell diving) which is performed to depths of down to 50m, bell diving depths are usually below 50m and can be down to 300m. However, it is becoming more common for closed bell divers to work in shallower water (shallow sat) as it enables substantially extended work periods.

Unlike other divers who return back to the surface on completion of a work shift, bell divers are recovered to a dry chamber system in which they live for extended periods of time—normally no less than 10 days and averaging 28 days.

Alternative names: Bell diving (also called mixed gas diving and saturation diving) is diving from a closed bell using mixed gas and hot water suits and is generally performed in very deep water offshore.

Prerequisites

• Since gaining the ADAS Part 3 diving qualification or equivalent, have completed at least 50 dives for a minimum total bottom time of 50 hours and have recorded and had certified by a qualified Supervisor these dives in a formal divers’ daily logbook in a format in accordance with, or similar to that required by, ADAS;

• All of the dives must have been conducted in surface supplied equipment and in open water. i.e. not in compression chambers, pools, and tanks;

• No dives undertaken as part of a training and/or assessment courses are to be counted;

• 10 hours of the bottom time is to be at depths greater that 20 metres;

• At least 6 hours of that 10 hours bottom time is to be at depths greater that 30 metres;

• Only bottom time is to be counted towards the 50 hours. i.e. decompression stop time is not to be included;

• No dive shorter than 15 minutes bottom time is to be counted;

• In a dive where the bottom time is longer than 2 hours only 2 hours is to be counted;

• Hold a valid certificate of medical fitness to dive issued in accordance with AS 2299.1;

• Hold a valid certificate of competence in first aid at work, issued by an organisation whose training and qualifications are approved by ADAS in accordance with relevant Australian arrangements, including a CPR and Oxygen Administration certificate issued within the last 12 months;

• The certificates above are to be “in date” for the whole of the closed bell diving assessment period.

Bell Diving, Mixed Gas Diving or Saturation Diving

Training
Training for ADAS Bell Diver is only offered at The Underwater Centre Tasmania. The course runs for 3 – 4 weeks and the theoretcial part of the syllabus covers the physics and physiology of closed bell diving, the use of mixed gases and the layout and design of systems.

The practical training covers transfers from bell to chamber, bell deployment and recovery, rescuing divers to and from the bell and culminates in the divers going into saturation and staying in the chamber for a period of 3 days.

Career Pathways
Bell Diver is the pinnacle of diver qualifications, however, with experience offshore, a bell diver may move into related or more advanced fields such as:

Life Support Technician
supervision
client representation
project management
diver training or diver training management

Supervisory roles are suitable for experienced and competent individuals and can range from Onshore Air Supervisor to Offshore Closed Bell Supervisor—all being responsible for ensuring safety and effectiveness in the work environment.

ADAS Diver Trainers (DTs) and ADAS Training and Assessment Managers (ATAMs) work from ADAS Accredited Training Establishments and are responsible for the delivery of training programs relevant to the qualification held by the trainer and the conduct of assessments in accordance with ADAS guidelines and requirements.
