The ADAS SSBA to 50M Part 3 certificate extends beyond the scope of ADAS Part 2, with the maximum depth of diving extended to 50 meters using Surface Supplied Breathing Apparatus (SSBA). This course is conducted over a 4 week period and greatly increases a diver’s ability to operate under working situations and is designed to get a diver operating at an offshore industry level. Students at this level will be introduced to hyperbaric chamber operations, hot water suits, hot water generators, wet bells & hydraulic tools.
Our Surface Supplied diving course is run by international instructors and offshore supervisors experienced in Deep Sea diving. If you aspire to be an underwater welder, CDA’s IMCA approved offshore diving course is the place to start!

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.
