Prospective PDTA students introduced to the world of commercial diving

Professional Divers Training Academy recently introduced four prospective students to the world of commercial diving.  

Using current industry dive equipment such as Kirby Morgan bandmasks, superlites, full face AGA & OTS guardian masks, participants were given the opportunity to gear up, dive into the PDTA dive training tank and experience a day in the life of a commercial diver.  Once underwater, divers were assigned the tasks of disassembling and reassembling a pipe puzzle whilst receiving assistance and directions from dive supervisors above.  To add to the experience, everyone in attendance participated in a dry dive in the recompression chamber to a depth of 30 meters and given the opportunity to master the art of Broco thermal lance cutting, a tool regularly used by the commercial diver.
