Restricted Occupational Scuba Diver In-Water Times  

*Commercial Diving Institute of Canada Career Counselors encourage all candidates to strive towards the Occupational Unrestricted Scuba Rating as this will facilitate better employment opportunities as an occupational diver.  The Restricted Occupational rating remains perfect for divers that require an occupational diving license within the limitations that a Restricted Occupational Scuba diver is trained to. 

Divers on the Unrestricted Surface Supplied Course have the opportunity to receive the Restricted SCUBA rating as an endorsement.  This training can be completed at the sametime as the surface supplied course with the completion of the above noted dives and bottom time.
