Free IMCA ADS & BDS Mock Exams (from Beyond the Surface Offshore) I've just released a mock exam system for the IMCA Air Diving Supervisor and Bell Diving Supervisor qualifications. Realistic questions covering physics, physiology, regulations, and work practices. Every question has detailed explanations and references back to the actual IMCA documents you need to know. This is the real difficulty level. It's free until we lock it behind the Beyond the Surface Offshore Premium. Once it migrates in a few weeks, it's members-only. If you're prepping for your ADS or BDS, get on it now. https://beyondthesurfaceoffshore.com/imca-supervisor-exam-pass/

Where would I be able to find training and information for underwater ROV

Dear All. I plan to get CSWIP 3.1u. Where is the best training center in your opinion? What are the major differences between 3.1u and 3.2u and 3.4u. I have VT2 acc. to EN ISO 9712 and worked as a welding inspector since 2023. I have also International Welding Engineer (IWE) title. Do I need to start with 3.1u or can I start with 3.2u with VT2 and IWE?

I’ve added a set of modules for anyone looking to get into NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) and eventually work offshore. These are designed to give you a clear understanding of: - What NDT actually is - The different inspection methods - Where you’ll be working - How people realistically get their first job - What to expect on your first offshore trip There are also tools available: - Course cost calculator - CV builder (NDT / Ropes / Wind focused) If you’re new to NDT, begin with Module 1 What NDT Actually Is. That will give you a clear idea of whether this path is right for you before you spend any money on training.

There’s a lot of noise around the new sat training routes, so let’s strip it back and look at two real options: I did my air course at PDC years ago, so I’ve seen how they train. 🇿🇦 Professional Diving Centre (PDC)– ~5 weeks– ~R480,000 (~£18.5k)– Accommodation & food extra– Traditional approach: more time, more repetition. 🇬🇧 DEEP– 3 weeks– £30k + VAT (~£36k)– Fast-track model: structured, controlled environment Same end goal:👉 HSE closed bell / sat qualification But very different routes to get there. One takes longer and costs less .One is shorter and costs more. The real question isn’t which one is “better” —it’s whether either of them actually changes what happens after: 👉 You still need experience 👉 You still need the right opportunity 👉 You still need timing on your side So if you’re looking at spending £18.5k–£36k to get into saturation… What would you choose — more time in training, or a faster route in?
