Experienced Route Competence Assessment (ERCA)

N.E.B. CAT "1"Unrestricted Surface-Supplied Diver

If you trained in the States or Navy and would like international certification, this maby be the course for you.

We will need to confirm any dives with divers log books and Actual Dive Sheets. We randomly varify 2 dives from each depth range and will reject the entire profile if one of these dives cannot be varified through the dive companies actuals or the supervisors log book.

If this is the case, there will be no refund for assesment and no further assessments will be conducted. Insure each entry can be varified. All of these dives must be on surface supplied gear and only include bottom times.

We have trained divers who have graduated from all of the Schools in the States and have found that they need a minimum of 6 weeks. Experienced divers have taken as little as 3 days.

The cost for Evaluation Route Competency Assessment (ERCA) is $500 for the assessment and $1,600 per week (6 days) , (which includes room and board) for training and testing.

A Category “1” diving certification is issued and an National Energy Board certification can be applied for after completion.

We require every graduate to have dove 6 Sur D O2's and run the chamber on 6 Sur D O2's. To complete an ERCA you will need to be here for the deep diving. [if you need more deep dives]

This is done from June 20th to Aug 1st and from Sept 26th to Nov. 4th at our facility.
