Commercial diving, whether it is for inland inshore work or offshore, is a professional career that requires extensive theoretical and practical training. To meet the growing demand for trained commercial divers over the years, training institutions have emerged developing their own country specific industry-based training schemes. These courses conducted by different countries vary in nature, duration, and content, depending on the specific commercial diving work requirements of the country, and the training framework. Each country has its own requirements pertaining to commercial diver training, and training institutions must meet these requirements to provide industry-satisfying training programmes and qualifications.
