Issue Date: March 2024
As agreed in the creation of this Training Package, applications for units transferred from the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package will be developed as part of continuous improvement plans, and taking into account the change in Unit of Competency format as detailed in templates for Streamlined Training Packages.
This unit covers the competency required to act as a standby (air) diver in support of diving operations (both from a platform and inwater) in an open water environment.
The diver will need to prepare and position the required diving equipment, and emergency resources, meet the readiness states as detailed by the dive supervisor, maintain communications with the supervisor throughout the dive, and take rapid steps to resolve incidents, ranging from the resupplying of emergency air reserves, to locating and rescuing injured or unconscious diver/s.
Note: This Unit of Competency covers the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS) occupational grouping of standby diver. All information was correct at the time of development of this Unit of Competency; however, any diver seeking ADAS accreditation should consult ADAS and not rely on the information contained in this Unit of Competency.
