To become a saturation diver you must first qualify and work as an air diver. Once you have a set amount of logged dive hours, working in surface supplied equipment in open water, you can complete a training course to gain your saturation (also known as mixed gas or closed bell) diving certification. The Underwater Centre in Tasmania provides ADAS diving certifications in both air and saturation diving, and The Underwater Centre in Fort William provides HSE diving certifications in both air and saturation diving. Both ADAS and HSE certificatoins are internationally recognised, allowing you to work anywhere in the world.

It, depends with the institution, there are some institutions that pay their trainees a salary during during the course.
Frankly, speaking to all of you what i had been told by one of the saturation diver that the maximum age doesn't matter atAl's long our medical is pass and fit. Because some of the saturation divers in UK overthrow their ages is 65 years old there still doing the saturation diving. As long you all who get involve in saturation diving operation is fit for your medical fitness you can still continue the job. Kathi's is what i can share the information to all of you.
It can be either a DRYSUIT, or a hot water suit.

No, but there are reduced bottom times compared to sea level diving due to the reduced pressure when you surface. Since ambient pressure is lower at altitude, a comparable nitrogen load will result in easier bubble formation in your body. The major certifying agencies offer courses in altitude diving. Get the course if you are planning to dive at altitude, or read their course books if you are just inquisitive.
You can go for commercial school diving at TUCF Professional Diver Training. You will pay at least $5000.
Accidents that can occur during saturation diving include decompression sickness (the bends), oxygen toxicity, barotrauma (ear or sinus squeeze), hypercapnia (excessive carbon dioxide in the blood), and equipment failure. These risks are heightened due to the complexities and pressures involved in deep-sea diving over extended periods of time.
Saturation Divers also dive shallow water by the way, I have worked as a Sat Diver the past 6 years and I started like many going to a Dive school then working in the industry for a while, you have to start at the bottom, become a tender, tender/diver, diver, ect... all depends on what you want to do. Sat diving is used not mainly for depth it allows max depth through HeO2 satuaration but the main reason is to be able to work undersea for longer periods of time.... look up Commercial Dive Schools first... do that then take a few years as a diver in the industry, I attended INPP for my Sat Course.

One may be able to learn deep sea diving via an intensive course at diving schools. Typically a deep sea diving course may take between 3 and 7 days with several hours, at least, spent in the open water.
k=[A+][Q-]/[AQ] these measurements must be taken at saturation of course.
