Course details
Divers living in saturation conditions require constant monitoring and control by trained personnel outside of the deck compression chamber. The oxygen content of their breathing gas, the concentration of carbondioxide in the atmosphere, the pressure, temperature and humidity of their environment all need to be monitored regularly and functions such as feeding and sewage disposal need to be controlled from the outside by life support personnel.Who should attend this course?
Life support personnel come from a variety of different backgrounds, including highly skilled technicians from other industries, qualified nurses, former divers and some specially trained for the role. There are no pre-requisites to attend the course but an understanding of basic Mathematics and a good level of English language is needed.
How will I benefit from taking this course?
Once they have gained the relevant hands-on experience, qualified ALSTs may be considered for promotion to Life Support Technician (also known as chamber or panel operator) and ultimately to Life Support Supervisor. Full details of the minimum requirements for progression are set down in the publication IMCA Offshore Diving Supervisor and Life Support Technician schemes (IMCA D 013 as revised), available from IMCA.
