Diver Medical Technician
Este curso està dirijido principalmente al buceo comercial.

Muchos de los participantes en estos programas son oficiales de seguridad en equipos de buceo profesional o técnicos de cámaras hiperbáricas, pero también muchos de ellos son profesionales del buceo interesados en progresar en sus conocimientos en medicina del buceo para poder atender mejor a los buceadores a su cuidado.
