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:
| 31-jul-2023 | 04-aug-2023 | tasmania-refresher |
| 21-aug-2023 | 01-sep-2023 | tasmania |
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.
The course meets the following requirements:
Onshore DMT: Partial completion of Certificate IV in Hyperbaric Operations (Diver medical technician). (National Qualification Code 11006NAT, awarded by Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS), Registered Training Organization (RTO) Number 88104).
Offshore DMT: Certificate IV in Hyperbaric Operations (Diver medical technician). (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.
