What an assessment for SFIDIV301 must cover

41 assessable components: 3 elements (6 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 27 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Apply industry knowledge to diving operations

  • 1.1Identify the roles of industry, government bodies and various diving qualifications as they apply to diving work
  • 1.2Recognise the roles of a diver and comply with the requirements for diving qualifications in the seafood industry

2 Apply anatomy, diving physics and physiology principles when performing dives

  • 2.1Identify the relationship between the pressure, volume and temperatures of gas, and the implications of this relationship for the physical condition of divers
  • 2.2Apply principles of partial pressure, solubility of gases, the behaviour of light and sound under water and buoyancy principles to diving work

3 Follow health and safety procedures in diving operations

  • 3.1Identify and comply with guidelines and regulatory requirements for health and safety in diving operations
  • 3.2Follow correct health and safety procedures in a drill to prepare for the event of an incident or accident.

Performance evidence

  • complying with regulations and industry standards relating to occupational diving
  • completing accurate calculations relating to depth, pressure, temperature, gases and buoyancy
  • identifying the basic needs of a diving casualty as required
  • identifying the requirements for assisting in the treatment of diving-related health conditions and illnesses.

Knowledge evidence

  • industry and government bodies associated with diving
  • regulations, Australian standards and industry standards related to diving, including:
  • AS/NZS 2299.1:2015 Occupational diving operations – Standard operational practice
  • AS 2815 series – Training and certification of occupational divers
  • reciprocal/mutual recognition arrangements of dive standards and qualifications with other countries
  • obligations, responsibilities and required health status for accreditation as an occupational diver
  • recreational dive-industry qualifications relating to occupational diving
  • statutory requirements for workplace health and safety in diving operations
  • the laws and principles relating to depth, pressure, temperature, gases and buoyancy
  • buoyancy (Archimedes’ Principle)
  • the partial pressure of gases (Dalton’s Law)
  • the relationship between pressure and temperature (Charles’s Law)
  • the relationship between pressure and volume (Boyle’s Law)
  • the solubility of gases (Henry’s Law)
  • the use, effect advantages and limitations of the use of various breathing gas mixtures
  • the use and effect of nitrox in surface-orientated diving operations
  • the use of decompression tables to calculate and manage safe diving profiles
  • the effect on divers of pressure, volume and temperature changes procedures relating to maintaining the health and safety of the individual and others
  • advantages and limitations of the use of one hundred per cent oxygen in managing diving illnesses
  • atmospheric, hydrostatic, absolute, ambient and gauge pressures
  • positive, negative and neutral buoyancy and effects of saltwater and freshwater
  • equipment used to compensate for buoyancy changes
  • equipment used to compensate for light and sound effects under water
  • direct and indirect hazards associated with diving
  • the behaviour of light and sound under water and their effect on divers
  • the effect of partial pressure and solubility of gases on divers and the need for decompression
  • first aid principles as they relate to diving-related conditions, illnesses and accidents.

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Makes calculations for diving operations
  • Reading: Follows dive tables Reads and interprets diving information and instruments
  • Navigate the world of work: Takes responsibility for decisions about when and how to complete tasks, and coordinates with others
  • Interact with others: Uses appropriate vocabulary, including technical language directly relevant to diving operations

Questions about assessing SFIDIV301

What does an assessment tool for SFIDIV301 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SFIDIV301 needs to address all 41 unit components: 3 elements with 6 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 27 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for SFIDIV301?

Auditori pulls the current release of SFIDIV301 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for SFIDIV301 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SFIDIV301 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of SFIDIV301, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
