South AfricaSaturation / closed bell
In brief
Professional Diving Centre (PDC) is a professional diving training centre in Gansbaai (South Africa). One of the very few schools in the world with real saturation, and its own vessel.
What it trains
Air (50 m) and saturation / closed bell (aboard the DSV Deepworx) plus DMT.
Certification
IMCA centre, level DT2. Always check on their own site exactly which qualification you come out with and whether it is valid in the country where you want to work — it changes from market to market.
Trains to saturation level. Very few schools in the world do: most train surface-supplied diving, and saturation is completed later inside the industry.
