ADAS Chamber Operator and Advanced Chamber Operator

The aim of the course is to prepare personnel with appropriate diving physics and physiology theory competencies and the practical skills necessary to safely operate a Mono or Multi-place compression chamber for decompression and recompression operations for diving operations and therapeutic treatments.

The Chamber Operator course is a stand-alone 5 day program for divers and 10 day program for non-divers. However the program is incorporated in the Part 3 SSBA Diver to 50 metre course.

The course includes the operation and maintenance of compression chambers and gives the candidate the knowledge for use of chambers in diving operations for surface decompression, treatments of diving ailments (Decompression illness) and for within hospital and medical facilities for therapeutic treatments.

PDTA have completed courses at external facilities including DAN’s (Divers Alert Network) recompression chamber facility in Vanuatu, at ProDive’s facility in Sydney, at HI Fraser Sydney on the multi-place Submarine Escape Rescue System, for James Fisher Defence Freemantle on the multi-place Submarine Escape Rescue System and Submarine and on the recompression chamber facilities aboard the research vessel’s Alucia and Golden Shadow.
