Welcome Team!
We’re diving into something important — but we’ll keep it short, clear, and easy to follow.
This course is based on our Standard Operations Manual: Air Diving Manual and the Diving Regulation: Control of Commercial Diving Operations.
Think of it as your go-to guide — not something to memorise, but something to come back to whenever you need to check, confirm, or refresh your understanding.
It’s here to support you on the job, breaking the manual into quick, practical sections so you can stay confident, consistent, and aligned with how we operate.
Let’s dive in! 🐠🌊
