Restricted Surface Supplied Diver (DCBC)

Note: The Restricted Surface Supplied Rating is an Inshore Qualification. This qualification meets the requirements for candidates looking to dive for public safety dive teams such as the Ontario Provincial Police Force, The Canadian Coast Guard and is an excellent qualification for the aquaculture industry, seafood harvesting, vessel maintenance, environmental diving and most inshore engineering inspection services. This training will qualify candidates for the Diver Certification Board of Canada Restricted Surface Supplied Rating. Candidates may continue at a later time to upgrade (P.L.A.R.) to the Unrestricted Surface Supplied Rating.

This course is completed over a period of 8 weeks of fulltime training and meets or exceeds all CSA Z275.4 competency requirements for the Restricted Surface Supplied Diver. Upon successful completion of the training all candidates will be issued a Diver Certification Board of Canada Restricted Surface Supplied Rating.
