Specifies the training activities and competencies required for the training and certification of occupational dive supervisors who are to supervise on-shore occupational diving operations using self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) or surface-supplied underwater breathing apparatus (SSBA). Includes three levels of supervisor qualifications: for SCUBA diving, for no-decompression dives on SSBA and for unrestricted SSBA diving.

This Standard specifies the training activities and competencies required for training and certification of dive supervisors for occupational diving operations using self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) and surface-supplied underwater breathing apparatus (SSBA).This Standard specifies the training and competencies required for the following three levels of supervisor qualifications:(a) Occupational dive supervisor for SCUBA diving.(b) Occupational dive supervisor for no-decompression dives on SSBA.(c) Occupational dive supervisor for unrestricted SSBA air diving.NOTES:1 This Standard does not apply to supervision of diving operations conducted under the Commonwealth Petroleum (Submerged Lands) (Diving Safety) Regulations 2002 or State Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Acts.2 This Standard may be used to train and assess dive supervisors for any type of diving operation, however, for certification, it is necessary for the dive supervisor to be capable of effectively supervising the range of common general diving operations.3 This Standard is not intended to apply to the training of dive coordinators who supervise and coordinate scientific diving conducted in accordance with AS/NZS 2299.2. The training activities and competencies set out in this Standard may be useful as guidance for such training.
