* Demonstrate sufficient maturity, leadership, management skills and the ability to provide support to other groups of workers **.

*If the applicant's qualification has not been current for a period of five years or more, the candidate must (prior to commencing training) make application to ADAS for approval to undertake training. That application is to demonstrate the student's current competency and proficiency in the diving industry equal to or exceeding that which would be expected of a current diver to that level. Only upon receiving written confirmation from ADAS is the student to commence training.
**able to supply of a letter of suitability (using the ADAS form letter) for training as a dive supervisor provided by a diving employer. This is to confirm the candidate can demonstrate sufficient maturity, leadership, management skills and the ability to provide support to groups of other workers, and also to demonstrate sufficient operational experience over a range of diving operations, environments, tasks and equipment representative of those likely to be supervised in the future (for example surface support experience of 75 hours tending, compressor operations and maintenance, log keeping, standby diver, panel operation, air testing etc.) If the student is self-employed, the student should seek evidence from alternative sources within the community who can provide credible evidence of the applicant's level of maturity, leadership capability and management skills. If any doubt exists to the suitability of the applicant the matter would be referred to ADAS.
In the case of active Australian or New Zealand Defence Force and Police personnel and in accordance with AS/NZS 2815.5, the prerequisite dive and bottom time requirements do not apply. In these cases OMTC are required to obtain a letter from the relevant organisation recommending the individual for assessment and verifying their suitability.
