Commercial Scuba Dive Training is generally a pre requisite of all the higher levels and so in most circumstances must be completed to work as a commercial diver.
For example to become a certified ADAS SSBA to 30 M (ADAS part two) diver you must hold your ADAS Occupational Scuba to 30m (ADAS part one) certification.
Professional Scuba training can, in some circumstances be all the training you need. Some industries require divers to only be trained in Scuba as this is all that is required within the scope of work.
Professional Scuba training can, in some circumstances be all thIndividuals this applies to is Aquarium and Zoo divers as well as a lot of scientific divers. In a way if your job requires commercial dive training, yet is not dive focused it is potentially possible that this may be all the training you need.
To confirm that this is true for yourself you should talk to us, or another internationally accepted training organisation as well as your employers to ensure that you only need your Commercial Scuba ticket.
Professional Scuba Training should not be confused for Recreational scuba training which is a pre-requisite for most Scuba certifications. No recreational ticket is accepted by the International Marine Contractors Assosciation (IMCA).

Commercial Air Dive Training or Surface Supplied Breathing Apparatus (SSBA) is the most in demand diving qualification you can hold. Air diving certifications allow you to work in most construction activities onshore and offshore (depending on the level of air diving certificate you hold).
For nearly all those wanting to become a commercial diver, it is mandatory to hold an air diving certificate as these allow you to work with various tools and depths potentially up to 50 metres.
The usage of Surface Supplied Breathing Apparatus underwater significantly increases a divers ability to operate under real working situations. An air diving is also recognised intnerationally as capable of using equipment such as welding, cutting, pneumatic and hydraulic tools up to the depth of there qualification
Within the ADAS certification framework there are two levels of Air Diver.
The First:
SSBA to 30 M (ADAS Part Two) introduces the commercial diver in the usage of SSBA as the basis for underwater construction activities, this course would be done by all divers wanting to work in construction on shore. how ever it is limited in that it can only be used up to 30 M and is not accepted at all offshore.
The Second:
SSBA to 50 M (ADAS Part Three) is the next progressive step of the air diving certification and allows the diver to work offshore, from a wetbell, and use and operate a decompression chamber.
For most Commercial Divers an ADAS Air certification is the training to strive for, the only question is where should i do the training? What certification should i get? and what level of air diving do i train too?
