- Introduction1
- Components of Surface-Supplied Diving EquipmentObjective: Develop the knowledge and operational understanding required to identify the key components of surface-supplied diving equipment (SSDE) and how they support commercial diving operations.
Knowledge: Explain the purpose of masks/helmets, umbilicals, bailout systems, safety harnesses, and surface control systems, including system advantages and limitations.
Skills: Demonstrate equipment awareness by identifying SSDE components correctly and explaining how each component supports diver life support, control, and safety.5 - Surface Supply Breathing ApparatusObjective: Develop the knowledge required to explain surface supply breathing apparatus options and their applications within surface-supplied diving operations.
Knowledge: Explain helmet and mask systems, lightweight surface supply systems, and the differences between full-face masks, band masks, and helmets.
Skills: Demonstrate selection understanding by identifying appropriate breathing apparatus based on diving conditions, operational requirements, and safety considerations.4 - Diving Helmets10
- Safety Harness and BuoyancyObjective: Develop the knowledge and safety understanding required to explain the role of harness systems and buoyancy support in surface-supplied diving operations.
Knowledge: Explain the purpose and design of safety harness systems and how harness use supports diver safety, recovery, and surface support control.
Skills: Demonstrate safety awareness by identifying correct harness use requirements and explaining how harness systems support diver control and emergency response.1 - Bailout SetsObjective: Develop the knowledge required to explain bailout configuration requirements and how bailout systems support emergency readiness during surface supply operations.
Knowledge: Explain bailout size selection, configuration, capacity requirements, and bottle endurance principles.
Skills: Demonstrate emergency readiness by applying bailout capacity logic and explaining how bailout endurance supports safe decision-making during surface supply operations.2 - UmbilicalObjective: Develop the knowledge and operational understanding required to explain umbilical system components, strength requirements, communications, and maintenance.
Knowledge: Explain umbilical components, umbilical strength requirements, hardwire communications, and care and maintenance procedures.
Skills: Demonstrate operational support awareness by identifying correct umbilical configuration requirements and explaining safe care, handling, and inspection procedures.4 - Gas Supply Panel, including Primary and Secondary SuppliesObjective: Develop the knowledge required to explain gas supply panel functions and minimum gas requirements for safe surface-supplied diving operations.
Knowledge: Explain primary and secondary gas supply systems, gas panel functions, and minimum gas supply requirements for safe operational support.
Skills: Demonstrate surface support understanding by explaining gas supply control requirements and identifying minimum gas planning considerations during surface supply operations.2 - Practice TestObjective: Reinforce knowledge and confirm understanding of surface-supplied diving equipment principles through structured revision and practice assessment.
Knowledge: Review key equipment components, safety procedures, communications, bailout and umbilical requirements, and operational readiness standards.
Skills: Demonstrate assessment readiness by applying knowledge to test questions and identifying areas requiring further revision before final evaluation.1 - Final ExamObjective: Confirm competence in surface-supplied diving equipment knowledge and operational readiness through formal assessment.
Knowledge: Demonstrate understanding of SSDE equipment systems, safety requirements, and operational procedures covered throughout the module.
Skills: Demonstrate competence by applying equipment knowledge and operational logic to assessment scenarios and achieving the required pass standard.1
