Overview

The ADAS Life Support Technician (LST) and Assistant Life Support Technician (ALST) are integral roles in the Dive Bell team. The responsibilities and actions of an LST directly effect and control the lives of the divers under their care. The primary responsibility of an LST is maintaining an environment to sustain life within the saturation diving complex.

These courses cover working safely in a hyperbaric operation, operating life support equipment as part of a team in a saturation diving operation, performing compression, decompression and therapeutic recompression operations, and working safely in offshore diving operations.

The ADAS Life Support Technician (LST) course builds on the knowledge gained in the Assistant Life Support Technician (ALST) Course. Find out more information on the ADAS website.
