Specialised Training for Scientific AND MEDIA DIVING

Designed for marine scientists and their staff, and media diving professionals needing practical, recognised underwater training.

Purpose-Built for Field-Based DIVING OPERATIONS

Our courses go far beyond pool drills and theory EXAMS.

We train divers to think independently and operate safely in unpredictable, real-world marine environments - including providing extensive practical advice on how best to meet the requirements of the AS2299.2 Australian Diving Standard while maximising your diving and/or research output!

Whether you’re monitoring reef health, collecting samples or working on remote projects filming, our training prepares you for the realities of working underwater with precision and safety at the core.

  • Tailored for scientific and media fieldwork
  • Based in open ocean for real-world experience
  • Hands-on support with pre-course theory and planning
  • Delivered by instructors with decades in scientific diving

Why is AN ADAS certification critical for scientific diving?

adas is more than compliance - it's about accountability and workplace safety.

While some fieldwork may be done by divers only holding recreational dive qualifications, the risks and legal responsibilities around occupational diving require higher standards.

ADAS certifications equip you with the knowledge and credentials to best meet institutional, regulatory, and workplace requirements—particularly when working with tools, teams, or in research settings outside 'confined waters'.

An ADAS certification also provides the organisations you might work for with far greater surety that you hold the competencies they require!

"Science doesn’t stop at the shoreline—neither should your training. Know the risks. Master the methods. Dive with purpose."
