In October 2022 the South African Department of Employment and Labour announced details of the registration and revalidation process that all commercial divers, diving supervisors, chamber operators and diving instructors holding training certificates issued by the department are required to complete to ensure continuing validation of their certification.
The scheme was developed to ensure that commercial diving personnel certified by the Department of Employment and Labour are maintaining their skills and abilities.

All qualifications for the roles listed above issued by the Department before 20 May 2022 will be valid until 06 June 2024.
