ASSET Certifies 1000th Dive Industry Technician.
The Association of Scuba Service Engineers and Technicians (ASSET) are proud to announce that they have certified Technician number 1000.
Mark Brewis, a native of New Zealand, was presented with a special membership certificate and commemorative digital calliper, on completion of a recent ASSET Dive Industry Technician’s Course (DITC).
Mark who is setting up a diving operation in northern Cyprus said “I’m very proud to be the 1000th ASSET member. The knowledge and skills I learned on the course will be of immense use in our dive centre”.
Also attending the DITC were George Croft and Peter Millar from Hughes Sub Surface Engineering and Steve Harriss, a commercial diving contractor.
Stewart Meinert Technical Co-ordinator for ASSET said “This is a proud moment for the Association. Together with our Cylinder Testing Technicians, this brings ASSET membership to over 1500; bearing in mind that although there are possibly one million divers World-wide, there is only one technician in each dive centre, making this a significant number. Diving technicians are the unglamorous, unsung backroom boys and girls who keep diving equipment in safe working order. Since 1995, we have been working to improve the standard and quality of equipment maintenance in the diving industry. Our reputation for quality and comprehensive training attracts students, from both commercial and recreational diving, from all over the World, to our training centres in the UK and Thailand.
