In qualità di professionista subacqueo, dovrebbe avere tutta l'attrezzatura subacquea di base, compresi un computer subacqueo, un coltello subacqueo e almeno due dispositivi di segnalazione in superficie. Durante gli esercizi di abilità pratica, come la mappatura subacquea e la ricerca e il recupero, utilizzerà una bussola, galleggianti, boe di segnalazione, sacchi di sollevamento e lavagne.
