AS/NZS 2299.2:2002 PDF Download

A standard called AS/NZS 2299.2:2002 offers recommendations and specifications for professional scientific diving operations. It focuses mostly on diving activities carried out for scientific study, resource management, or instructional purposes. For no-decompression diving, the norm applies to dives at a maximum depth of 30 meters and 39 meters, respectively. Self-contained underwater breathing equipment (SCUBA) or surface-supplied breathing apparatus (SSBA) are both options for supplying breathing gas.

It's crucial to remember that this standard does not restrict the application of other diving standards in specific diving jobs or circumstances. The AS/NZS 2299.2:2002 standard addresses a range of topics connected to scientific diving operations, such as personnel needs, protocols, tools, and the provision of breathing air. Additionally, it has appendices with information on hand signals, lifeline signals, diving operations manual material, samples of employer dive records, personal records of divers, and certification levels for scientific divers.
