Using Simulation to Enhance Diving Safety, Performance
and ModernizationMoving forward with diving standards and technology
1 WindandSea-Research1
Diving simulation - why bother?
• Aging workforce - need for efficient training system
• Regional expansion of diving - interest in training locally and developing expertise base
• Regional disparity in access to approved training
• Limitations of on the job training
• Need to move to Competency Based Assessment and regular re-certification of capabilities
• Need to move diving into the Digital Age - both in training and ability to begin introducing equipment advances

Basic simulator Benefits
• Safety - no personnel or assets put at risk
• On the Job Training limitations are reduced - training time shortened
• Structured Learning and Assessment Environment
• Enhanced Training Potential
• Simulation is linked to other technical advancements
• Expanded Applications
• Regionalization - ability to automate language conversions and incorporate region specific standards while retaining core consistency

On the Job Training - limitations
• The system is contractor dependent
• Training is not a primary focus
• There is a lack of training structure
• No definition of competencies to be achieved
• No definition of how to assess competency
• No system for recording performance and identifying deficiencies
• No ability to introduce realistic managed emergency scenarios
• This is a work site not a training site
• Trainees are often viewed as menial labor
• Training viewed as extra work for supervisors
• In an emergency the trainee is likely shuffled into the background
• The quality of training varies widely depending on
• Attitude & ability of supervisor-instructor
• Nature of job & equipment

Structured Learning and Assessment Environment
• Curriculum with defined competency targets
• Consistent quality of training - best knowledge can be captured, preserved and delivered as required
• Approved courseware managed and delivered by LMS
• Integration of theoretical training with simulator to reinforce learning

LMS - Learning Management System
Recording and maintaining student data
Automated assessment and testing
Certification upon satisfactory completion

Enhanced Training Potential
• Focus on the individual
• Performance automatically recorded for later analysis
• Ability to identify problem areas and focus on remediation
• Regular update training possible
• Emergencies as a learning experience• Managed failures can be introduced with complete safety
• Trainee responses can influence training and design of equipment and emergency procedures
• What if - mission planning

Simulation is linked to other technical advancements
• e-Learning
• Industrial game technology and immersive reality
• Digital dive monitoring and control systems
• Enhanced sensors for both increased safety and enhanced work capabilities
• Telematics and remote monitoring and advising
• Equipment monitoring and CBM - Condition Based Maintenance
The inherently digital and computer driven nature of the simulation relies upon a number of other technologies and introduces the possibility of using them in the field.

“E-Learning is an important element of Subsea 7’s training and development strategy. Together with Atlas Interactive, we have tailored a number of HSEQ related modules including Task Risk Assessment, Permit to Work, Lift Planning and Environmental Awareness. Atlas’ E-Learning tool is currently being used by Subsea 7 personnel across the world both onshore and offshore.” Gavin Smith
”The Marine Division of Petrobras and Petrobras University views e-Learning as an efficient way to deliver training to its onshore and offshore workforce at multiple sites throughout the company.” Luciano Campos

The industry is embracing e-learning
Petronas is committed to using e-Learning as the most effective way of delivering underpinning knowledge to our workforce anytime, anyplace and anywhere. Petronas e-Learning Solutions Sdn Bhd has selected a small number of preferred, best-in-class content providers who are delivering high quality e-Learning throughout the Petronas Group of Companies.” Emil Bahari

Expanded Applications
• Design analysis and verification - might be useful in pre-validating designs for classing
• Flow rates
• Temperature management
• Scrubbing
• Control system
• Electrical system
• Design Optimization - ability to quickly change characteristics of the system allows optimization based on factors such as
• Human feedback
• Statistical analysis of operator performance
• Impact of component modification or insertion
• Statistical analysis of component performance

Modular Design• Process model - physics of the
chambers,piping & gas flow
• Metabolic load models
• Control system
• Mechanical modules
• Electrical systems
• Human Interface - Control Panels
• System management software
• Approved training courses
• LMS - Learning Management System

Scaleable Deployment
• Installation type
• Fixed installation
• Portable - Container
• Mobile - Vehicle mounted
• Human Interface - the same system may be accessed by a range of interface options depending on the application
• Single screen - local or remote internet access
• Limited control panel
• Full control panel
Modular design allows the system to scale from full size down to a single screen. This is mainly determined by the fidelity required
in the human interface.

Internet Enabled
• Remote access to simulation tools
• Remote participation in simulation - with appropriate local control panel interface
• Remote instruction and control of simulation exercises
• Remote management and maintenance of system
• Remote observation
• Remote expert advisors

Political and Regulatory issues
• Certification of required simulator fidelity• DNV Class A - Standard for Certification of Maritime Simulators No. 2.14
October 2007
• Equivalency of simulator to offshore hours
• Maintaining student records database• Who maintains it
• What details are maintained
• Security
• Access
• Certification of training courses
