Overview

The Diver Medic Technician (DMT) certification offered at CDA is an ADAS approved certification and is divided into two categories; Onshore DMT Qualification and Offshore DMT Qualification, depending on the student’s level of diving qualification upon graduation. This course will help build upon the divers knowledge and ability to work offshore by introducing students to high level first aid skills, including intubations, suturing, IV and drugs in hyperbaric environments. When combined with the Assistant Life Support Technician (ALST) or Life Support Technician (LST) course these industry recognised ADAS qualifications give a new commercial diver the very best chance of gaining your first job in the offshore industry. Because DMT’s are so valuable, it is not uncommon for companies to hire exclusively DMT trained individuals. On a normal work day, the life of a DMT is no different than that of a normal diver. A DMT is not hired as a DMT but instead hired as a diver, who in emergency can act as a first responder until a hyperbaric doctor is able to take over.

The DMT course is included in the course fees for all students doing Part 4. It is also available as a stand-alone course.

The DMT course is available in four different delivery modes:

  • Onshore DMT – Initial course for divers who are onshore (Part 1 or 2) or restricted Part 3 divers.
  • Offshore DMT – Initial course for divers who hold an ADAS Part 3, Part 4 or Life Support Technician, or equivalent qualifications.
  • Onshore DMT Refresher – Refresher course for existing DMT certification holders who are onshore (Part 1 or 2) or restricted Part 3 divers and meet the refresher criteria below.
  • Offshore DMT Refresher – Refresher course for existing DMT certification holders who hold an ADAS Part 3, Part 4 or Life Support Technician, or equivalent, qualification and meet the refresher criteria below.

Who is the Course for?


The Diver Medic Technician is a compulsory part of any dive team, hence why a DMT certificate is a great addition for any Part Three diver if your intent is working offshore in the oil and gas industry.
