Contaminated and Potable Water Diver Training Program
The Contaminated and Potable Water Diver Training Program was designed and produced by Marine Marketing and Consulting in 1999.
The Text for this training program is "Diving in High-Risk Environments, 4th Edition, 2007, by Steven M. Barsky.

Contaminated Water
There is a definite need within the professional diving community to have access to minimum
performance requirements for equipment used to protect divers required to enter both chemically
and biologically contaminated water. Trelleborg Protective Products has developed a test matrix
to quantify the performance of the Viking dry diving suits for use in these kinds of waters. In
lieu of defined acceptable standards within the diving community, we have taken the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) standards for chemical protective clothing and modified it to test
dry diving suits. The NFPA standard provides the benchmark performance criteria to approve suits
for first responders entering unknown hazardous chemical environments.
In the report available here, Diving in Contaminated Water - Chemical and Biological Tests of
Viking Dry Suits and Accessories, we provide the information needed to make informed decisions
and thereby ensure protection of the diver in contaminated waters.
The information in the report does not provide all the information or training needed to plan a
dive operation in contaminated water. It is the diving supervisor who must take responsibility
for the safety of the diver based on a risk assessment of the actual conditions at the dive site.
And in certain circumstances, the best decision may be not to dive at all.
After Diving - Decontamination
Decontamination shall be performed on the scene when a dry suit has been exposed to, or has been
potentially exposed to, hazardous materials. On scene decontamination shall be performed while the
suit is still being worn to minimize potential contamination of the wearer during removal.
Due to the vast number of chemicals and their different properties, no guaranteed decontamination
procedure exists. The best way to decontaminate must be decided for the specific chemical encountered.
This decision may only be made by people educated for this task and with a good working knowledge of
chemistry.
In the absence of such knowledge, the minimum decontamination shall consist of rinsing or spraying
the garment with water and scrubbing lightly with a soft bristled brush using a decon detergent, e.g.
Decon-Check , and then thoroughly rinse with plain water. This process shall be repeated at least twice.
The health and safety of the diver, both during and after the decontamination process, and the health
and safety of the personnel applying the decontamination agent, must be taken into consideration.
After removal, the dry suit must be placed in a suitable container for subsequent cleaning, additional
decontamination, inspection, or in the worst case, disposal.
Please note! The data contained in the report has been developed from tests conducted under controlled
laboratory conditions, not under actual diving environments. The user must determine the applicability of
these test results for the actual exposure anticipated. Further more, the test results are specific only for
Viking Diving materials and components. Comparisons to the performance of other manufacturers' diving equipment
cannot be made.
