IDRCF Closed Bell Diver Training V1.1
The members of the IDRCF have reviewed, modified, and consolidated their individual standards for Closed Bell Diver Training. Subsequently, each member adopted the requirements of the IDRCF consolidated standard into their own standards.
Canada adopted the requirements of the IDRCF consolidated standard into the latest draft of the CSA Competency Standard for diving, hyperbaric chamber and remotely operated vehicles operations (Z275.4:22).
