Diver Assessment

This assessment is for academic staff, general staff, postgraduate students and honours students who are required to SCUBA dive for work. All participant divers on a UWA fieldtrip are required to complete this assessment. This includes research fieldtrips by postgraduates. This assessment is mandatory no matter with whom/or where the diver intends to dive.

Visiting divers require the assessment unless a satisfactory reciprocity agreement is made with the visitors? organization. The acceptance of the reciprocity is at the discretion of the UWA Diving and Boating Safety Officer (DBSO). If no reciprocity is accepted a visiting diver may also be required to complete a dive assessment.

All participant divers on a UWA diving fieldtrip are required to have completed this assessment.

This assessment is not considered a training exercise but verification of stated competency in order to participate in diving activities.
