The ADAS SSBA to 30M Part 2 Certificate is the next step in becoming a commercial diver, and builds upon the fundamentals learned in Part 1. This course is conducted over a 4 week period and introduces the use of Surface Supplied Breathing Apparatus (SSBA) as the basis for underwater construction activities and a wide variety of construction tools are introduced including the use of welding and cutting equipment, pneumatic and hydraulic tools, salvage equipment, air and water dredging equipment, construction tools, non destructive testing and other work related subjects to meet on shore diving industry requirements.
The ADAS Part Two SSBA to 30m certificate is equivalent to the HSE Part 3 (UK) certificate and has a 20 course day duration.
The emphasis of the training is on preparing occupational divers to work safely and effectively as members of a commercial diving team in order to successfully achieve a variety of onshore construction work. The course includes 24 dives on SSBA.
In addition to the practical dates below, one week of theory is covered through online learning in the two weeks' prior to practical training. Note the course fees for Part 1 in Queensland has a higher cost as accommodation at Orpheus Island Research Station is included.

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.
The course meets the requirements of AS 2815.2 – Air Diving to 30 metres.
Successful completion of this course results in the following Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification: Certificate IV in Hyperbaric Operations (Occupational SCUBA diving to 30m). (National Qualification Code 11006NAT, awarded by Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS), Registered Training Organization (RTO) Number 88104).

it was the best 3 months of my life, it went so quick as the course was enjoyable and we were doing different things every day. Thanks, CDA for a great course and helping me find employment after the course. Anyone thinking of doing the course just do it you want regret it, the school has great facilities, you’ll meet new friends and get the best training available anywhere.

The facility, equipment and training that is offered and available to students is nothing short of amazing. The Saturation barge is an experience within its self. I'd doubt you'd get this type of experience anywhere else in the southern hemisphere.

one of the biggest things a noticed was that students even from Part 1 and 2 were being trained exactly as we would if we were working on an offshore and onshore worksite. Something I feel I missed out from previous training elsewhere.
