Professional Standards in Scuba Servicing & Dive Technician Training
Internationally Aligned • Engineering-Led • Safety-Critical
Welcome to ASSET – Association of Scuba Service Engineers and Technicians.
We are a professional training and standards organisation dedicated to the inspection, servicing, testing, and safety of scuba and diving life-support equipment.
ASSET delivers engineering-based training for dive technicians, inspectors, and service professionals working in recreational, technical, commercial, and occupational diving environments worldwide.
Our courses are developed in alignment with international, European, and British standards, ensuring technicians are trained not just to service equipment — but to do so competently, consistently, and in compliance with recognised safety frameworks.
A Standards-Driven Approach to Dive Equipment Safety
Diving equipment is life-support equipment.
Its servicing, inspection, and testing must meet the same expectations applied to pressure systems, breathing apparatus, and safety-critical engineering disciplines.
ASSET training is aligned with, and informed by, recognised standards including:
- ISO 18119 – Periodic inspection and testing of gas cylinders
- EN 1968 / EN 1802 – Seamless steel and aluminium cylinder standards
- EN 250 – Breathing apparatus performance
- EN 12021 – Breathing air quality
- Relevant UK pressure systems legislation and European safety principles
This standards-based foundation ensures ASSET-trained technicians operate with professional accountability, technical understanding, and regulatory awareness.
Professional Training for the Global Dive Industry
ASSET courses are designed for individuals and organisations that require measurable competence, not brand-limited or recreational certifications.
We train:
- Dive centre technicians and managers
- Independent & Military service engineers
- Cylinder inspection and testing personnel
- Compressor and air systems operators
- Technical diving support staff
- Professionals seeking long-term careers in dive equipment servicing
Our students come from Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia, reflecting the global relevance of ASSET qualifications.
